Jenny Saville!!!!

If I were a painter, I would want to be Jenny Saville.

She is fantastic. Her work is ballsy. Rough. No Cliche's here.  Nor does her work show any attempts at clinging to the "pretty" aesthetic I see prevalent among certain peers. Her paintings are beautiful, I am not saying they are ugly, yet she doesn't paint pretty flowers, and make them pretty. (easy).

  

Rather Anti "hipsteresque"....nothing like the snobby knobs who think "art" means regurgitating old cliche's of dismal and poetically depressed Parisian artist types living in western Europe, attempting to call back from the dead the time where it wasn't "cool" to calling home a cramped (in mod hipster speak= cramped is quaint)  flat above a dingy pastry shop.... spending days painting their lifeless still lives. I see it now, muted tones, a coffee cup filled with black coffee, positioned oddly yet cutely next to the morning paper, maybe showing a hint of a cigarette smoke. probably cloves. Oh I'm not naming names, I hate you. What happens when life happens?  Jenny Saville, you have life by the balls, and other anatomical parts.
