This would not be a surprise if Saville were a film star (as the somewhat autobiographical cover he designed for the Suede single of the same name--featuring a photo of Saville himself dressed as a clubgirl--suggests).
But Saville's role as maverick outsider, in addition to his fluid negotiation between the traditionally separate fields of art, design, moving image, styling and direction, allows him a unique vantage point from which to critically observe contemporary visual culture, both in the worlds of fashion and music, and in the corporate arena.
In one sense, Saville's "Waste Paintings" are an extension of the controversial gesture of appropriation, for which he himself was well known in the 1980s, when he would directly and irreverently "lift" an image from one genre--art history for example--and recontextualize it in another.

Saville treated his artwork for Factory acts such as Joy Division and Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (so-called because it was the self-indulgent name they could think of) as form of self-expression to articulate whatever happened to obsess him at the time.
Saville softened the following season by including the clothes: but styled just as they would be in real life: by a model shooting hoops and an artist dripping paint on to a canvas.
Saville created visual essays sparked by memories of his life in Los Angeles for the site and used a Photoshop programme to digitally shred his vintage 1970s and 1980s album sleeves for Joy Division and New Order into beautiful, but haunting remnants of the original images.

 S. T. Karnick on Philip Saville's The Gospel of John
The Gospel of John, directed by journeyman filmmaker Philip Saville and now slowly making its way around the country since its release late last year, is one of the best of these, and it represents an interesting change in cinematic approach to Biblical material.
Saville's film (from a screenplay by John Goldsmith) tells the story of Jesus Christ as laid out in the Gospel of John, as the title implies.
Instead of an artificially dramatic narrative, Saville and the film's producers accept the idea that their source material is extremely important and quite moving without any massaging from mere mortals.

Saville's beefy women—pictured alone, in pairs or, as in the case of the 10-by-16-foot Fulcrum, stacked three high—demonstrate a combination of passivity and monstrousness.
