- PWYC Jenny Saville - Contemporary PaintingNotes Covent Gardren, London, WC2N 4ER
Follow šthis linkš to get your ticket for 18:00
Pay What You Can tickets available from Friday 11/07.Saville has played a leading role in the reinvigoration of figurative painting ā a genre that she continues to test today. Her unique ability to create visceral portraits from thick layers of paint reveals an artist with a deep passion for the process itself.
From charcoal drawings to large-scale oil paintings of the human form, this chronological display includes works that question the historical notions of female beauty, the monumental nudes that launched Saville to acclaim in 1992, and new works.
