NOT THE ROYAL ACADEMY 2008
9 June – 23 August 2008

The best of this year’s unhung work submitted to the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Oils, watercolours and pastel of all sizes – only original paintings – no prints, prices from £150 to £2000 with the majority of paintings priced at under £1000. A great opportunity for collectors of all ages.

Over nine thousand paintings are submitted each year to the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Hundreds of artists receive a rejection slip in the post to say that their work will not be hung in this major show. Only 800 pictures finally make it onto the walls of the Royal Academy.

A SECOND CHANCE
The Llewellyn Alexander Gallery, inspired by the original “Salon Des Refusés” held in Paris in the 19th century, will hang the best of this year’s work submitted to the Royal Academy but not hung. Hundreds of artists bring their work for a further selection process at the Gallery where they will be told “on the spot” whether they have been successful or not. Oils, watercolours and pastels of all sizes pass through the doors of this lively Gallery on the South Bank (opposite the Old Vic Theatre). Every painting is for sale and may be taken by the purchaser immediately, creating space for another painting to be displayed. All paintings will be on show for three weeks after which new work will be hung.

Over the years purchasers have returned again and again, and many have commented that this alternative exhibition contains more original and exciting work!

The Gallery is open from 10am until 7.30pm from Monday to Saturday giving the opportunity for everyone to see this regularly changing exhibition.

Paintings will be on view here from June 9th
