Llewellyn Alexander, 124-126 The Cut, Southbank, SE1 8LN

Exhibitions: , Art, Painting, Gallery

How Much: Free!
Major art institutions get so inundated by artists sending them work that they often have to refuse much of it. Famously, the Tate refused 175 Stuckist paintings back in 2005, something that Charles Thomson in particular was rather put out about.

Sometimes work is refused because it's rubbish, sometimes because it doesn't fit in with the ideologies of the institution in question. On display at Llewellyn Alexander this month are a selection of paintings that have been refused by the Royal Academy.

Some of it is bound to be a bit pants, some probably brilliant. And it's all for sale, so the Academy's loss could well be your gain.

Until 21.08.10.
