Boo Saville’s new Palindrome editions draw on her recent  Division paintings. In this series, Saville explores how blurred geometrical lines, formed in symmetry, can present new ways of accessing colour through perfectly balanced, soft blends.

The title Palindrome refers to a word, sentence, verse, or number that reads the same backwards and forwards. Each edition is titled after a palindrome (Illi, Amma, Ecce, and Oro), offering an aural and typographical equivalent to the visual interchangeability of the vertical lines. Each of the four editions, as with their titles, can be encountered in multiple directions. The image is in a constant state of optical flux, rooted by a central linear point.

Description

Boo Saville (b. 1980) lives and works in Kent. Saville is a contemporary British painter best known for her large-scale abstract paintings and small-scale figurative works; Saville primarily works with oil paint but also draws and makes prints. Her artistic practice explores themes surrounding our emotional relationship with colour and metaphor within a post internet age.​

Saville’s work plays with the tensions and contradictions involved in the act of painting. Her abstract work, characterised by multi layered oil paint, radiate energised, shifting atmospheres, functioning both as seductive propositions and as melancholic voids.

Her work has been featured in prominent art publications and is included in major international private and museum collections, such as Collezione Maramotti, Soho House, and Murderme. Saville has exhibited internationally, including at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (MOCCA), Toronto, and The Museum of Old and New Art Tasmania. In 2024, she released her fifth print edition, Palindrome, in collaboration with Manifold Editions, London.
