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.
NATURES FABRIC
SANDRA WAUYE
This is an oil painting with some slight ink 5.8 * 8.3in. The figure in the painting stands uprights with the long stick which is a weapon as she considers herself a defender of nature and the environment around her. Her lifestyle is simple and all she needs for her daily sustenance and survival is in the little boat she stands upon. She moves along the water trying to protect natures delicate fabric and connects with all around her. She doesn't get to meet a lot of people in her simple reclusive life but when she does every once in a while she imparts her knowledge on how to protect and preserve the environment around, and how deeply connected we are. I believe that through art we can communicate with everyone since it is universal. Through capturing and painting captivating images of the environment and our connection to it, we are able to motivate everyone we share our art with to become defenders of the earth, in their own simple ways. Every little effort by every person goes a long way.
