About the exhibition
Salon d’Anvers is a group exhibition featuring works by Annefloor Arsonne, Stef Kamil Carlens, Christine Clinckx, Juliet Jespers, Leon Jespers, Rudy Trouvé.

Christine Clinckx invited five guest artists, all have a connection to Antwerp. The exhibition is a meeting of generations and their works, which combined becomes an artistic biotope, from floor to ceiling.
Salon d’Anvers refers with a wink to the Salon for painting and sculpture between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The first Salon d’Anvers took place in 1789, the last one in 1926. These ‘public’ art exhibitions had a strong influence on the arts. The most famous was the Salon de Paris. Similar sales exhibitions were also organized in other places and countries. Antwerp was the first city in Belgium – then included in the Austrian Netherlands – to create a Painting and Sculpture Salon. Slowly adapting to new artistic trends, the triennial Salon joined the competition of the Art Nouveau circle from 1920.
The Salons had an enormous impact on art life. New trends had virtually no chance. In 1863 the first ‘Salon des Refusés’ took place in Paris, an exhibition of rejected works of art, and later the ‘salon des indépendants’, which had a more private character. The latter serves as an example of the association of artists, which occurred throughout Europe around 1900.
Slowly adapting to new artistic trends, the triennial Salon in Antwerp joined the competition of the Art Nouveau circle from 1920. This development is the beginning of strong differentiation in the arts.
