Studio Art Workshop in the Modern Education Studio

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.

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.
