# Phat Art The Jenny Saville Paintings Depict Human Vulnerability By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-02-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jenny-saville-paintings References: [sweet-station](http://www.sweet-station.com/blog/?p=10486) & [artnet](http://www.artnet.com/artist/14945/jenny-saville.html) Artist Jenny Saville paintings are unlike any other paintings I’ve come across. Where most have celebrated societal accepted beauty, Jenny Saville does the reverse. The artist is best known for her [paintings of monumental women](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-carvers), as her paintings leave them baring it all from inside out. Her [nude portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) reveal the vulnerable side of her women, while still leaving them empowered as they are courageous enough to get naked. As shocking as some of these images are, they are beautifully painted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Body Positivity Artistry:** There is a trend of artists creating art that celebrates body positivity, and encourages viewers to embrace vulnerability and imperfection. - **Nude Portraiture:** Nude portraiture is becoming a trend in the art world, as artists seek to challenge traditional beauty standards and depict the human form in all its rawness and imperfection. - **Feminist Art:** A trend towards feminist art is emerging, as female artists seek to reclaim their own narratives and use their art to challenge societal norms and expectations. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** The art world has the opportunity to champion artists like Jenny Saville who challenge traditional beauty standards and encourage viewers to embrace vulnerability and imperfection. - **Fashion:** Fashion companies and designers have the opportunity to promote body positivity and inclusivity by featuring models of all shapes and sizes in their campaigns and designs. - **Media:** Media companies can promote feminist art and nude portraiture by featuring these works in editorial content, thus encouraging a broader conversation about body positivity and challenging beauty standards. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Human Nature-Themed Art Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sea-im-awake.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md) - [Medicine-Inspired Artful Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/something-for-the-pain.md) - [Glass Beaded Intricate Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Travel-Inspired Canvas Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-passport-series.md)
