Human self
"Howard Hodgkin was a great artist of sex and death. Like the handful of British modern painters who are his peers – Francis Bacon,Lucian Freud and David Hockney – he rebelled against the austerity of abstract art and instead put the human self, in all its desire and suffering, at the centre of his universe." (The Guardian.)
Does "the human self" mean "consciousness" in the above?

I wouldn't say so, specifically. I read it as meaning pretty much the same as "the human being".
