Jenny Saville

In a society often obsessed with physical appearance, Jenny Saville has created a niche for overweight women in contemporary visual culture. Saville's focus has remained on the female body, slightly deviating into subjects with "floating or indeterminant gender," painting large scale paintings of transgender people.

Her published sketches and documents include surgical photographs of liposuction, trauma victims, deformity correction, disease states and transgender patients.

In an art form, perhaps this is how people trying to achieve their size zero frame perceive their own bodies?
