Jenny Saville, an undoubted heavy-weight of the Britart movement, was one of Charles Saatchi's early protégés. Upon viewing one of her degree show paintings in a London gallery in 1992, he commissioned 15 new works for the Saatchi collection - effectively keeping her in paint and brushes for the next two years - and exhibited them in the Young British Artists III show of 1994. Career-wise, she's never looked back.
