Salon des Refusés V - Group Show - April 2013, by Scraffer on Mar 26, 2013 16:55:05 GMT 1, We are pleased to be able to announce the lineup for our first group show, to be held in West London for a week at the end of April. The poster has been designed by the ever incredible Luke Insect and will be released as a limited edition screenprint at the show.

You may be asking why it's called the Salon des Refusés V when it's our debut show... Well, 150 years ago a group of artists put together a show of works that had been rejected by the Paris Salon (the equivalent of the Royal Academy). The artworks exhibited were in a style not widely acclaimed at the time, but have since been lauded as some of the most accomplished paintings ever executed. They went on to hold four such exhibitions, the last one being held 1886. We have decided to carry on where they left off and host the fifth expo, encompassing some of their ideas yet at the same time exploiting a good brand name.
