Jenny Saville is a contemporary British painter known for her large-scale painted depictions of nude voluminous female bodies. Her nonconventional looks at beauty expands the traditional nude form into a way to comment on the body, gender politics, sexuality and even self-realisation. Society shapes and seeks to control behaviour, relationships, and power. She, however, breaks down the social conventions that encourage women to fit into limiting beauty standards. Saville's subject, non-idealised bodies, have been understood as superposition of mental and emotional mindsets.
