Jenny Saville @ Gagosian Gallery

Ekkyklema, is an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Jenny Saville.  The project’s title refers to a wheeled platform that was used to move interior scenes into the audience’s view during antique productions of Greek tragic drama, and alludes to the artist’s search for a pictorial language with which to confront our simultaneous occupation of material and screen-based worlds. Ekkyklema is also concerned with the moment and mystery of conception—a truly universal subject.
