Reverse 2003

"Reverse" is a 2003 painting by British artist Jenny Saville, renowned for her large-scale figurative works. Known for her bold and visceral style, Saville’s paintings often explore themes of the body, identity, and sexuality. The painting features a close-up of a woman's face, rendered in a highly realistic manner with thick layers of paint, emphasizing the physicality and vulnerability of the subject. The image, with its distorted perspective and raw portrayal, provokes a sense of discomfort and challenges conventional beauty standards.
