Award 2021
Welcome to the Social Art Award 2021 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many inspiring contributions from artists around the world. The selected works reflect a broad spectrum of contemporary social art practices and explore new relationships between humans, nature, and technology. They address themes such as ecological regeneration, climate justice, sustainable futures, social resilience, and more-than-human perspectives.
Below you will find the submissions from the Social Art Award 2021 – New Greening edition that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and encourages dialogue around their ideas and approaches; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your visionary and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping New Greening.
Happy elf
Josephine Florens
The concept of my work is happiness from unity with nature. The painting depicts a small forest elf who loves his forest, cares for it, protects, grows plants. The elf is absolutely happy and calm, because when beautiful plants and flowers bloom around - the soul sings! The main call of this painting is to protect nature, not to destroy and, if you cut the flowers, then only the inflorescences, protect the main plant and not spoil it, and then it will delight with beautiful fragrant flowers every year and make us all happy!
