Salon des Refusés 2013, curated by HAPPENSTANCE Gallery.
Following the tradition of the 19th century Parisian Salon des Refusés, (when Napoleon let rejected works be exhibited alongside those accepted ones after artists protested the Salon jury’s rejection of 3000 works), Happenstance Gallery is again organising an exhibition of paintings, graphic and mixed media works, photographs and prints rejected from the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
Unlike our predecessors, we are not protesting, but helping. We respect the Royal Academicians’ judgement and understand that exhibiting at the RA Summer Exhibition is a great honour and privilege, and that the RA walls are limited and a lot of good artwork has to be rejected.
We want those works to still be on show and to let the public judge which ones they like most of all, independent from experts’ decision. For this reason, every visitor to the exhibition will be asked to vote for three favourite pieces.
Results from last years public vote
Let’s think together about what art is, what its value is estimated by and whether it should even be estimated at all. Let’s listen to what our deepest feelings are telling us, which artwork appeals to us and maybe we’ll discover new talents worthy of worldwide fame and appreciation, gems like Manet and Whistler, whose work would otherwise have vanished inside dusty attics or be lost to posterity.
For this reason we’ve located the exhibition in Shoreditch - the home of contemporary emerging and established artists and the bravest art. -

TAZ is a contemporary Ukrainian artist, born in Ternopil (western Ukraine). The West is the centre of creativity in Ukraine, and Ternopil is at the heart of it.
TAZ spent a large part of his unconscious childhood and all his conscious life drawing. Having finished secondary school in 2006 he surprised even himself by entering the department of Fine and Decorative Art at the Art Academy in Ternopil. In the same year he and his friends - street artists Volt and HNMR - arranged a graffiti art show at Ternopil Art Museum which was very successful. This led to widespread recognition and exposure at numerous art festivals in the creative hub of Ukraine.
Then, in 2011 (the final year of his studies) he was kicked out of the Academy, ostensibly because of his own strong views not fitting with the Art Academy. After a not insignificant protest, TAZ was allowed back in and now he has graduated and become one of the youngest emergingl Ukrainian contemporary artists.
About TAZ Art Work
After various experiments in different techniques (graffiti, comics, street art, fine painting etc.) TAZ settled on drawings and watercolours.The genre he’s working in now is called by art critics – fantastic art. His characters, created by a deep imagination and very often wearing bird heads, have attracted loads of attention among art lovers across Europe.
