The Salon des Refuses was initiated by the S.H. Ervin Gallery in 1992 in response to the large number of works entered into the Archibald Prize which were not selected for display in the official exhibition. The Archibald Prize is one of Australia's most high profile and respected awards which attracts hundreds of entries each year and the S.H. Ervin Gallery's 'alternative' selection has become a much-anticipated feature of the Sydney scene.Each year our panel is invited to go behind the scenes of the judging process for the annual Archibald Prize for portraiture and Wynne Prize for landscape painting and figure sculpture at the Art Gallery of New South Wales- to select an exhibition from the many hundreds of works entered in both prizes but not chosen for the official award exhibition.The Salon des Refuses exhibition at the S.H. Ervin Gallery has established an excellent reputation that rivals the selections in the 'official' exhibition- with works selected for quality- diversity- humour and experimentation- and which examine contemporary art practices- different approaches to portraiture and responses to the landscape.Visitors can vote in the Holding Redlich People's Choice Award.Covid-Safe informationWe are registered as a Covid Safe business and have new safety measures.All visitors are required to sign in on arrival if they do not have pre-booked tickets.

Art2Muse Gallery presents 'New Beginnings' by Conchita Carambano.Conchita Carambano's style is highly recognisable and yet profoundly enigmatic. There is an elegance and a maturity in Conchita's abstract paintings infused by an instinctive gift with colour- line and form. The Australian landscape- our earth- have been a constant source of inspiration. It has fuelled her exploration and creativity.Her vehicle for expression has been boundary-less- and the potency of her work has fuelled an extraordinary career that continues to gather momentum. Awards- acquisitions- civic and corporate commissions- solo exhibitions and the attention of private collectors in Australia- Asia and the Middle East punctuate Conchita's burgeoning 30 year career.'When I start a painting- I focus on an idea or experience I once encountered- and let my feelings take control. At times the reaction I get is that the painting starts to take on a completely new direction to the initial one I had in mind. It takes on its own character as it were- however I am its creator and to this extent I have complete control over the end result. Because I detect this 'character'- I'm able to detect the new direction that the painting is taking and stay in complete control of its final outcome. I feel this is important to an artist. I can honestly say that when I paint a painting based on a sad feeling- I can always look at it and find it very beautiful and rewarding.' - Conchita CarambanoCovid-19 guidelinesArt2Muse is a registered Covid safe business and we can accommodate up to 6 guests in the gallery.
