Saville creates monumental paintings such as <\/span><\/span>the seminal work on display in the exhibition<\/b><\/span><\/span>, \u2018Propped\u2019<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/em>, which she submitted as her degree thesis in 1992; in it, the artist\u2019s body is depicted on a stool, viewed from below looking upwards. On this<\/span><\/span>, like rock carvings, appears the phrase: \u201cIf we continue to speak in this monotonous way, as men have spoken for centuries, we will disappoint one another\u201d. <\/span>\u2018It is a work that<\/b><\/span><\/span> has not aged.

Venetian painting, and in particular Titian\u2019s use of colour, has become an essential point of reference for her, both in terms of her use of colour and her rendering of texture. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\nSaville has, in fact<\/b><\/span>, had<\/span> a long-standing connection with Venice<\/b><\/span>, dating back to her childhood, to the extent that she is familiar with all its museums and architecture: \u2018Ever since I was a child, I used to come here with my uncle, who taught art history courses in the city. My relationship with Italian art did not begin with modern or contemporary art but with the works of the masters of the past. As a figurative painter, I have always adored the Italian tradition,\u2019 explains Saville. \u2018I grew up in an environment where conceptual art predominated. In the UK we had painters like Bacon and Freud. Figurative art existed, but it wasn\u2019t the most fashionable, and<\/span> with my figurative style<\/b><\/span> I<\/span> was outside the dominant trends of the time<\/b><\/span>. Nevertheless, I have stuck to this approach of mine. I\u2019ve always loved Venetian art, Titian in particular; I\u2019ve always felt a close connection to his artistic language.

Venetian painting, and in particular Titian\u2019s use of colour, has become an essential point of reference for her, both in terms of her use of colour and her rendering of texture. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saville has, in fact<\/b><\/span>, had<\/span> a long-standing connection with Venice<\/b><\/span>, dating back to her childhood, to the extent that she is familiar with all its museums and architecture: \u2018Ever since I was a child, I used to come here with my uncle, who taught art history courses in the city. My relationship with Italian art did not begin with modern or contemporary art but with the works of the masters of the past. As a figurative painter, I have always adored the Italian tradition,\u2019 explains Saville. \u2018I grew up in an environment where conceptual art predominated. In the UK we had painters like Bacon and Freud. Figurative art existed, but it wasn\u2019t the most fashionable, and<\/span> with my figurative style<\/b><\/span> I<\/span> was outside the dominant trends of the time<\/b><\/span>. Nevertheless, I have stuck to this approach of mine. I\u2019ve always loved Venetian art, Titian in particular; I\u2019ve always felt a close connection to his artistic language.

The works in the penultimate room are inspired by news images that remain tragically relevant today, such as <\/span><\/span>\u2018Aleppo\u2019<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/em>\u00a0(2017\u20132018), dedicated to <\/span><\/span>the Syrian Civil War, <\/span>and the various <\/span><\/span>\u2018Piet\u00e0\u2019<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/em> <\/span><\/span>works<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/em> which, <\/span><\/span>whilst exploring themes of motherhood, <\/span>do not depict a specific event but transform suffering into a universal image. <\/span><\/span>\u2018The painting <\/span>\u201cByzantium\u201d\u2019<\/b><\/span>, explains the artist, \u2018draws on the works I saw in Torcello, on the icons, but also on Bellini\u2019s Martinengo Piet\u00e0 and Michelangelo\u2019s Piet\u00e0\u2019. <\/span>A work on a gold ground and with a profoundly Venetian<\/b> composition, Barisoni said: \u201cThe<\/span> reference to Byzantine art, of which the city of Venice is rich, is clear<\/span>.\u201d The <\/span><\/span>mothers with children depicted, however, are not merely the Madonnas of the Christian imagination: \u2018In the artist\u2019s vision, they are also the<\/span> archetypal and benevolent figures of the goddesses of fertility<\/b><\/span>,\u2019 comments Barisoni. \u2018When we chose the works to exhibit, the international situation was not quite so dramatic.\u2019
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 2020, Saville embarked on an <\/span><\/span>in-depth exploration of colour,<\/b><\/span><\/span> in which gazes and faces bear the names of figures from mythology or literature. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The final room, in fact, presents previously unseen works such as <\/span><\/span>\u2018Venus and Adonis\u2019<\/b><\/span> and <\/span>\u201cDana\u00eb\u201d<\/b><\/span>, which, iconographically reimagined in Jenny Saville\u2019s style, were<\/span> created specifically for the Ca\u2019 Pesaro exhibition as <\/span><\/span>a tribute <\/b><\/span><\/span>to Titian and the Venetian painting tradition<\/b><\/span>, <\/span>confirming the role of the lagoon city in her work: <\/span><\/span>\u2018This exhibition encompasses all the paths I have followed, with numerous references including <\/span>Vel\u00e1zquez<\/b><\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>Bacon<\/b><\/span><\/span>, De Kooning and, above all, Titian<\/b><\/span>,\u2019 the artist continues. \u2018In my career I have also used abstraction, but I remain a figurative painter and in this I am profoundly European.\u2019 <\/p>\n

Now, after a moment\u2019s hesitation, she has decided to carry on painting: <\/span>\u201cI want to keep working, drawing inspiration from Titian,<\/b><\/span>\u201d she concluded. \u201cToday, from a political and technological perspective, and given the ongoing wars, the situation is difficult. <\/span>For a moment I thought that in times like these<\/b><\/span>,<\/span> painting was futile<\/b><\/span>; instead,<\/span> we must continue to contribute positive and authentic things<\/b><\/span>, and painting is one of them.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n","multimedia":"immagine","video":null,"immagine_paragrafo":false,"didascalia":""}]},"parole_chiave":[],"parole_chiave_source":{"label":"Keywords.","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":false},"autore_esterno":"Francesca Catalano","autore_esterno_source":{"label":"Autore Esterno","type":"text","formatted_value":"Francesca Catalano"}},"yoast_head":"\nJenny Saville: \u2018My works are inspired by Venice and Titian\u2019s use of colour\u2019 - GVperTe<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ca\u2019 Pesaro is hosting an exhibition by the British artist Jenny Saville, which traces her artistic journey centred on the monumental study of the human body.
