Description

Sal's figurative oil paintings, influenced by film, media and popular culture explore the human emotional experience. Her depiction of anonymous subjects whose gaze and gestures are suggestive of unknown encounters allow the viewer to consider them as reflections of themselves. These are not people we know but feelings we recognise.

Many of Sal’s works use film and cinematography as sources for subjects, focussing on the gestures of fictional characters, the figures have been taken from a scene, presented out of context and re-imagined as paintings; close-up, cropped and re-edited; these paintings capture the action of expression out of context and encourage the viewer to consider the story from which it originated.

Framed in a simple black tray frame which adds about 4 cm to the dimensions. Ready to hang with fixtures on the back.

About the artist

Sal Jones

London, United Kingdom

Sal is known for her expressive portraits that capture fleeting emotions rather than fixed likenesses. Working in rich layers of oil paint, she draws on film, media, and her own imagery to create characters who feel both familiar and mysterious. With titles often borrowed from dialogue, her paintings hint at stories without telling them outright, leaving space for the viewer to step in.
