Nicole Kelly All I See – Lauren, Poppy & Our Baby, oil on polyester, 122 x 137.5 cm
The Salon des Refusés 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.
In 2023, 59 works were selected for the 'alternative' exhibition, with 35 from the Archibald Prize & 24 from the Wynne Prize by selectors Nick Vickers, curator and lecturer & Jane Watters, director, S.H. Ervin Gallery.
The 2023 exhibition features paintings from Nicole Kelly and Joshua Yeldham.
