Sarah Maple
Not sure about this artist.
I came across Sarah Maple while browsing the Saatchi Site.
She happened to be the new undergraduate"sensation" of the moment.
I think it is purely sensationalist art with no real substance.
It has "Shock" value, but will it stand the test of time?
I mean is it merely Conceptual devoid of any Real Substance?
"He Hits Me and it Feels Like a Kiss"

I painted this painting for my Thesis Show at Boston University. Although it describes a victim of Domestic Violence, the real reason i painted this image was due to the emotional content. I am very interested in what drives us to stay in emotionally abusive situations. As a person who has also been in a similar position to the subject I feel it is not only my right to paint such provocative imagery but also my duty. I am an extremely emotional individual and I find this to be the most literal language in which i can express these feelings.
Jenny Saville Continued:
Question:
Who will dare to say Jenny Saville isn't the
(living) Queen of Figurative Painting?
Everything she paints is stunning and viscerally explosive!

I first saw his stuff in Juxtapose Magazine, and thought it was young and fresh.
