Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting Studio Art Workshop

Discover fresh ways to explore the human figure in this interactive studio session inspired by the Modern’s newest exhibition, Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting. Known for her powerful, large-scale depictions of the body, Saville offers a striking starting point for rethinking how we portray the figure. Open to Modern Contemporaries members (ages 21–40) only. To learn more about this event or to become a member to attend, please contact the membership department.

Artist instructor Fernando Alvarez will lead you through two creative approaches to abstraction. First, deconstruct and reassemble fashion photography to create unexpected figure-based collages. Then, use those collages as inspiration for a dynamic, gesture-driven painting. Come ready to cut, layer, and paint as you experiment with bold new perspectives on the human form alongside other Modern Contemporaries members.

A complimentary Wolfgang Puck snack box is included with your reservation. All project materials will be provided. This workshop is limited to 20 participants and is open to all active Modern Contemporaries members. Space is limited and reservations are required.
