Jenny Saville



(click the picture and look at her eyes.)

i've known Jenny Saville's work for a long time, but for some reason never really delved into it until now, and i feel completely overwhelmed.

I also love this work
The last pic is being used by the band Stereophonics as their latest album cover and the big four supermarkets here, refused to take it because the cover was too unhappy for shoppers to see.
WTF
Love and Respect

it's not stereophonics, it's the manic street preachers latest. they had her "strategy" on the cover of their "holy bible" album: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_BVRgsZQjfXo/R1BF3-qV1tI/AAAAAAAAAvk/bpOpZdorMq4/s1600-R/Manic+Street+Preachers+(1994)+The+Holy+Bible-Frontal.jpg (wow, long link). but, fuck, really? which are the big four in england? tesco, m&s, saintsburys...? anyway that's so fucked up! her work's hard to look at, but that's usually when something's really worth looking at.

xxx k!

we used to have lidl in norway, but they went out of business here. don't know why. thanks a lot about the hospital stuff, it was all i could do really so i guess i ended up putting a lot into it.
