READ OUR REVIEW OF Les Sculptures Refusées 2023 - WE LOVED IT!
Building on the tradition of the great 1863 Parisian Salon in which two thirds of all the painting’s submitted were rejected, Les Sculptures Refusées (LSR) presents a show of sculptures born out of this grand tradition.

This initial rejection forced artists of the calibre of Courbet and Manet to create opportunities of their own - defying the academy. From these revolutionary actions, the conception of the Salon of the Refused was born.

Les Sculptures Refusées literally translates to ‘the sculpture of the refused’. Just like the infamous 1863 exhibition LSR is an artist run event providing opportunities for Australian and International artists to work at the fringes of the Australian sculpture scene and get their work shown.
