Artist Research-Jenny Saville

Jenny Saville

Jenny Saville portrays her photography with multiple stories behind them, the reason I love this technique and the way she has photographed her models by enhancing and expressing the slightly more chubby human by placing the face or the body itself up against a piece of glass to create a flat image, this creates many layers and textures throughout the body, this links in well with my idea of issues as they can be seen as ugly by the way they are placed. Jenny Saville has inspired me with the close up photography, the use of lighting and the creativity of using a piece of glass to create different unusual shapes with the body and shadows. The colours in these photos are more natural and pastel to make the image look for lifelike and project the realness of the issue and how this is what people see slightly chubby to be 'ugly'.
