You Underestimated Me (2021) Original Oil Painting by Sal Jones
52 x 52 x 5cm (framed) / 50 x 50cm (actual image size)
£1,200
Original artwork description
A textured gestural oil painting in a simple slim black tray frame.
The title is taken from a quote, chosen as a statement of empowerment, self worth and defiance in the face of adversity.
My image making involves allowing the painting process to steer the outcome, the application of painted layers and experimentation with texture, and resulting marks are as much a dialogue between the artist and the paint as the viewer and the subject.
I find painting a visual way to comment on contemporary life. I Want to take a moment to connect; by capturing a glance, a look, an emotion that unites us. I select the subjects and expressions for that instant of sensitivity, something we can relate to as viewers. These will often defy the usual portrait genre and gender stereotype.
Whether or not the subject is recognisable is not as important as the moment of connection. A visual portrayal of emotion that one can identify with, whoever the subject portrayed might be.
