Realism?

Realism style conveyed through stark honest and ‘real” painting- for example the detailed bruising, skin texture and close-up composition- as opposed to an ideal notion of beauty

Question 2

Controversial/contemporary?

Answer 2

Controversial/contemporary style achieved by the invasiveness of the piece ( model being depicted post-surgery thus vulnerable and close-up scale) - which aids the communication of the harsh-reality of cosmetic surgery.

Painterly?

Painterly style achieved through large gestural brushstrokes to capture dimensions and contours- also allows for an interesting experimental style.
