When I was taking watercolor painting class, Breehan James introduced me to Saville. She listened my stories which I experienced and thought that I need to look at her works. I like her painterly style with emotional touch.
Her great power with grand scale and ambiguous nature of the subject matter disturbs and exites me. Saville's works are emotionally colder than Bacon's. Bacon's nihilistic human self-image shows more of his on-going struggle. Saville's imagery of pain and deformity draws from Valasquez and Da Kooning since she looked into their works. The last picture, Suspension, delivers some sort of martyrdom and death through carcass.
