Annual Open Exhibition
Event: BSA Open Exhibition

Bath Society of Artists 116th Annual Exhibition 2021.
Event: No Time Like the Present
Dates: 25 Sep 2021 - 18 Oct 2021
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.

Event: The Human Figure - Modern Myth & Story Telling
Dates: 19 Jul 2016 - 24 Jul 2016
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.

Unified by a common interest in the human being (their lives, their stories, and their interior journeys) the selected artists have produced a diverse body of work panning collage, painting, digital illustration, and sculpture that seeks to reveal the major influence of the Id over the Ego, their constant battle and the ultimate dominance of the first over the latter.

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.

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.

Event: Moving Scenes
Dates: 28 Apr 2014 - 28 May 2014
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.
http://hphgallery.com
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.
