Salon des Refuses is French for "Exhibition of rejects", originally referring to the Paris Salon of 1863. Normally, this would refer to any exhibition of works rejected from a juried art show. However. this group of rejects held together by Michael Anderson.
The artist Aaron Johnson uses socks as brush strokes in his wild and comedic portraits. These old, used, personal items become the material for his sculptural paintings.
