"Let's Bounce" Painting

Jones' work explores the materiality of paint in relation to memory, primarily utilising cinematic source imagery of 90s romantic comedies and cult classics as a means to address the intangible nature of nostalgia through the constructs of film and painting. Impersonal and personal all at once, they allude to fragmented space whilst conjuring an internalised or other world. Her longstanding exploration of the materiality of paint in relation to memory continues in this work, harnessing aspects of surface detail as a painterly vehicle to grasp at the intangible. Painted for Jones' recent solo exhibition 'Tales from the Cutting Room Floor', this work was inspired by an amalgamation of early 90s comedies. Having a bit of fun with this work, Jones references the other-self/women she paints wanting to jump in a getaway car and drive off to some sunny tropical paradise. This exemplifies her dabbles with photo-realism perfectly combined with painterly marks. It was also a pioneering work in regards to layering imagery, and exploring the liminal line between worlds and time that peppers her most recent works - it is almost as though Jones has been trimming the film and scooped up the planes of space and placed them on one another, ready for the get away car to slide off the canvas at any given moment.
