We are excited to announce that Joshua Yeldham has been selected for the Salon des Refusés 2025 for his Archibald entry ‘Melody for an Owl (Self-portrait)’
The Salon des Refusés 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.
Each year the panel of judges 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 Refusés opens Sat 10 May 2025 and continues until Sun 27 July 2025.
