Nude 2 by Chris Ryan

Former Sydney firefighter Chris Ryan studied Fine Arts at the National Art School in between shifts at Darlinghurst Fire Station. “Creative Arts was something I always enjoyed and I found it particularly therapeutic after many years of being in stressful situations.I have for the past 13 years divided my time between my rural property at Mudgee and Ubud ,Bali which I have found Inspirational. I find drawing the human figure Is like meditation and I get lost in the marks being transcribed onto the paper. An energetic and at the same time relaxing experience.”

POSTPONED ARCHIBALD, SULMAN & WYNNE – REAL REFUSES 18 – 29 MAY.

POSTPONED

Real Refuses

THE DEMOCRATIC ARCHIBALD PRIZE !
ALL WORKS GUARANTEED TO BE HUNG!!

Saturday 23 May marks the 24TH Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art  Event – Real Refuses – where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN, and DOUG MORAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in SURRY HILLS to win the popular “People’s Choice Award”, selected by the public on the night.

Real Refuses has become firmly established as part of the “Archibald Season”.

While it is an exhibition of rejected artwork, it is much more than that…

It is about giving a fair go to all the artists involved in Australia’s largest art events.

Not everyone can win an Archibald but here everyone can exhibit along side their peers. (You’ll find past winners of Australia’s biggest art prizes here as well!)

In the past an extraordinary range of subjects have been shown, from musicians, actors, politicians including the NSW Premier, Mayor of Willoughby, Anthony Mundeen, Tony Abbott, Leo Sawyer, the then Prime Minister John Howard, Madame Lash, Elizabeth Cummings, Professor Bruce James Brew, and Jaiwei, (a winner of the Sulman.)

We can’t wait to see the works not selected this year!

TAP GALLERY, 259 Riley St Surry Hills (please note we have moved)

GALA OPENING: Saturday 23 May 5-8pm 2018

(includes the “People’s Choice Award”)

Prizes to be won!

ON VIEW  18 – 31 MAY 12-6pm Daily
