I'm thrilled to share that I've recently joined the roster of artists represented by New Blood Art, an online gallery dedicated to showcasing exceptional emerging artists across the UK.
Founded in 2004 by Sarah Ryan, New Blood Art has been a pioneering platform, connecting early-career artists with collectors and curators, and supporting their development through curated exhibitions and consultancy services.
To celebrate the gallery turning 21 in 2025, Sarah has begun writing the story of New Blood, which you can read here.

The pieces I have available through New Blood concern my exploration into the fusing of photography and painting through a range of transfer methods which I developed during my residency with AA2A (Artists Access to Art Colleges) at Cambridge School of Art.
New Blood’s support of this work enables me to present these works to a wider audience and continue to explore methods of production. Writing on my work, they say:
“Although the visual language of Sid White-Jones’ work is deeply photographic -rooted in salvaged negatives, old slides, and analog processes -he’s consciously presenting the finished works as paintings. When he refers to them as “original painting in ink on canvas,” he’s signalling a shift in medium identity, not just process. The ink, the canvas, the texture, the scale - all of that moves the work away from being a photograph of something and toward being a material object in itself.
This shift is rich with meaning. He’s not just re-presenting memory through image - he’s enacting a kind of transference between media. What begins as a photograph is subjected to cycles of distress, distortion, and reassembly - until it emerges as something else entirely. A painting. A residue. A reformation. It’s like he’s working through the photograph’s unconscious - exposing its cracks, letting it bleed, pressing it into new skin. Where memory and rupture sit side by side. It’s tender, brittle, and strange -like trying to hold a scent or trace that’s already begun to fade.” - New Blood Art, 2025.

Joining New Blood Art aligns with my commitment to exploring the boundaries of photographic expression and I'm excited to continue contributing to the vibrant community that New Blood Art fosters.
