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.

Title:
Just give me the good news

Author:
Geesien Postema

Description:
This is a large square botanical statement piece of art. This is a vibrant abstract floral painting with organic forms. This painting has many layers and a lot of texture. It is about flowers in the Summertime in bright and sunny colors painted in a loose and expressive way with visible brushstrokes. Because of the contrasting colors and the deep red and yellow marks this is a very vivid painting. Title refers to uncertain times, like everybody goes through from time to time in life, and you are waiting for good news to come... This floral painting is about going away from worries to a place, like a garden or park, where the viewer can experience peace and calmness.
