The artwork, titled “Closed Contact #14,” was created by Jenny Saville between 1995 and 1996. It is part of the Neo-Expressionism movement and belongs to the figurative genre.
The artwork presents a vividly intense depiction of a human face being distorted by the pressure of hands pressing against the skin. This striking piece showcases Saville’s interest in the manipulation of flesh and the human form. The close-up view captures the raw texture and dynamic movement of the skin, emphasizing the vulnerability and malleability of the body. The forceful yet intricate details in the artwork highlight the artist’s exploration of physicality and identity, driving a powerful visual impact on the viewer.
