About Sal Jones

 
 
  • Biography

    My paintings focus on our relationship with representation, they explore human reaction and empathy on a personal level, by capturing a glance, a look, an emotion that unites us. I am particularly drawn to a gesture captured rather than conventional poses, those unguarded moments; I work from photographs and found images, inspired and influenced by cinematography. The subjects are mostly women (often fictional or notorious).

    I select the subjects and their expressions for that instant of sensitivity, a social or cultural relevance; something we can relate to as viewers. These will often defy the usual portrait genre and gender stereotype.

    Sal paints, subjects in states of emotional tension; their expression is heightened by gestural painting and intense colour. The artist draws inspiration from sources such as film, media and popular culture. The titles, quoted from dialogue, draw the viewer into conversation, intimate or confrontational, these encounters feel personal.

    Dates: 25 Sep 2021 - 18 Oct 2021

    Venue: Hampstead Garden Gallery, 46 Falloden Way, London NW11 6JP

    A solo show of paintings by Sal Jones produced in and out of lockdown.

    The exhibition features many recognisable subjects from film and drama series in particular Bond and Bond women, in a timely exhibition, coinciding with the postponed release of the much anticipated new Bond film – No Time To Die.
    Gestural mark making, textures and saturated colours of Sal's oil paintings animate the subjects, whilst the titles (sometimes appearing in the paintings) quite literally speak to us; engaging us in a sort of conspiratorial conversation. Whether you recognise the subjects or not you are drawn into their world as they demand your attention. Poignant and playful the works can be seen as a comment or observation on life, love and emotional empathy.

    Since the moment we became self-aware, humanity has been obsessed with finding our place in our world and in the greater universe. We express ourselves and our surroundings in colourful analogies, using symbols and imagery to portray our thoughts and to explain the unexplainable.

    Ideas that have long belonged to our collective unconscious are re-interpreted by the artists offering us a contemporary take on traditional themes.

    The Portrait Show
    14-19 April 2015
    Private View: Thursday 16 April 6-9pm

    A classic subject is given a contemporary twist as twelve established artists give their interpretation of the word ‘Portrait’. At times intimate and unexpected, the works capture the unplanned moment; a fleeting thought that changes the expression, the vulnerability of the sleeping figure, abstractions that hint at flesh and sensuallity.

    Come inside and see where a single word can take you.

    Chimera
    11-16 December 2014
    Private View: Thursday 11 December 6-9pm
    The word Chimera immediately brings to mind a hybrid beast with the head of a lion, body of a dragon and a snake for a tail.
    A more contemporary use of the word would be as a description of something hugely imaginative and dazzling.
    This exhibition takes influence from both meanings to showcase the work of twelve very different artists.

    People and Places
    3-8 July 2015
    Preview: Thursday 3 July 6-9pm
    Much of our time is spent in going from one place to another, in creating our own spaces or having them created for us, and in encountering an array of people – family, colleagues, friends, enemies, lovers and strangers – as we pass between them.

    People and Places is an exhibition of 15 artists each responding in their own way to these encounters and the spaces in which they are situated. Drawing on and responding to these experiences, each artist reflects on these, through their own perspectives and creative approaches, to produce a diverse range of interpretive and original works on the exhibition’s theme.

    Moich Abrahams, Becky Beckett, Eleanor Buffam, Krzysztof Cieslak,
    Coulsoom, Catherine Field, Guilhem, Sal Jones, Helga Lee,
    James Mackenzie, Lucy Morton, Ange Mukeza, Justyna Szpygiel,

    Dates: 28 Apr 2014 - 28 May 2014

    Venue: Hackney Picture House Gallery - Gallery@HPH, 270 MARE STREET, LONDON, E8 1HE

    Over the last 18 months, Sal has been using film and cinematography as sources of inspiration for several pieces that primarily deal with expression and emotional character. Although these works utilise the tradition of portraiture, they are not posed as conventional portraits, but rather capture and reinvent the convention.

Event: No Time Like the Present

Venue: Hampstead Garden Gallery, 46 Falloden Way, London NW11 6JP

A solo show of paintings by Sal Jones produced in and out of lockdown.

The exhibition features many recognisable subjects from film and drama series in particular Bond and Bond women, in a timely exhibition, coinciding with the postponed release of the much anticipated new Bond film – No Time To Die.
Gestural mark making, textures and saturated colours of Sal's oil paintings animate the subjects, whilst the titles (sometimes appearing in the paintings) quite literally speak to us; engaging us in a sort of conspiratorial conversation. Whether you recognise the subjects or not you are drawn into their world as they demand your attention. Poignant and playful the works can be seen as a comment or observation on life, love and emotional empathy.

Since the moment we became self-aware, humanity has been obsessed with finding our place in our world and in the greater universe. We express ourselves and our surroundings in colourful analogies, using symbols and imagery to portray our thoughts and to explain the unexplainable.

Ideas that have long belonged to our collective unconscious are re-interpreted by the artists offering us a contemporary take on traditional themes.

The Portrait Show
14-19 April 2015
Private View: Thursday 16 April 6-9pm

A classic subject is given a contemporary twist as twelve established artists give their interpretation of the word ‘Portrait’. At times intimate and unexpected, the works capture the unplanned moment; a fleeting thought that changes the expression, the vulnerability of the sleeping figure, abstractions that hint at flesh and sensuallity.

Come inside and see where a single word can take you.

Chimera
11-16 December 2014
Private View: Thursday 11 December 6-9pm
The word Chimera immediately brings to mind a hybrid beast with the head of a lion, body of a dragon and a snake for a tail.
A more contemporary use of the word would be as a description of something hugely imaginative and dazzling.
This exhibition takes influence from both meanings to showcase the work of twelve very different artists.
Roan Allen, Isabelle Fouque, Beth Gadd, Guilhem,
Geoff Gunby, Caroline Guth, Raymond Isaac, Sal Jones,
Rossella Spoto, Sandy Sand, Olivia Silver, Annie Zamero

People and Places
3-8 July 2015
Preview: Thursday 3 July 6-9pm
Much of our time is spent in going from one place to another, in creating our own spaces or having them created for us, and in encountering an array of people – family, colleagues, friends, enemies, lovers and strangers – as we pass between them.

People and Places is an exhibition of 15 artists each responding in their own way to these encounters and the spaces in which they are situated. Drawing on and responding to these experiences, each artist reflects on these, through their own perspectives and creative approaches, to produce a diverse range of interpretive and original works on the exhibition’s theme.

Moich Abrahams, Becky Beckett, Eleanor Buffam, Krzysztof Cieslak,
Coulsoom, Catherine Field, Guilhem, Sal Jones, Helga Lee,
James Mackenzie, Lucy Morton, Ange Mukeza, Justyna Szpygiel,
Lindsay Terhorst North, Annie Zamero

Over the last 18 months, Sal has been using film and cinematography as sources of inspiration for several pieces that primarily deal with expression and emotional character. Although these works utilise the tradition of portraiture, they are not posed as conventional portraits, but rather capture and reinvent the convention.

Biography

My paintings focus on our relationship with representation, they explore human reaction and empathy on a personal level, by capturing a glance, a look, an emotion that unites us. I am particularly drawn to a gesture captured rather than conventional poses, those unguarded moments; I work from photographs and found images, inspired and influenced by cinematography. The subjects are mostly women (often fictional or notorious).

I select the subjects and their expressions for that instant of sensitivity, a social or cultural relevance; something we can relate to as viewers. These will often defy the usual portrait genre and gender stereotype.

Sal paints, subjects in states of emotional tension; their expression is heightened by gestural painting and intense colour. The artist draws inspiration from sources such as film, media and popular culture. The titles, quoted from dialogue, draw the viewer into conversation, intimate or confrontational, these encounters feel personal.
