Sal Jones

Sal Jones is a fine artist, working predominantly, in painting and mixed media. Her work is figurative and often takes found images or familiar objects as its starting point, transforming them to alter interpretation and confound stereotype. She has a BA Hons Fine Art degree and a PGCE in Art & Design.

Sal Jones’ recent work is best described as a reinterpretation of the portraiture tradition with an emphasis on emotional conflict. Translating visual information into paintings, she develops ideas and themes with an emphasis on the painted surface. Using photographs of images derived from mass media sources, she explores the nature of, and our relationship with, representation; particularly with regard to human expression and communication. Sal has exhibited regularly in London and across the UK including: National Society’s 83rd Annual exhibition 2016, London; What is the Point? emerging artists 2016 annual open exhibition, London; Society of Women Artists annual open exhibition 2015, Mall galleries, London; Id- A Fictional Journey into the Psyche. Works are held in private collections in the UK, Europe, Australia and the United States.
