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.
Jungle
Alexander Haywood
Inspired by the surroundings of the studio I worked at during my recent residency in Mexico, ‘Jungle’ (oil on canvas, 90x100cm) captures the abundant diversity of nature untamed. Expressive painting techniques have been used to convey the interconnectedness of many species cohabitation harmoniously in the jungle. Multiple layers and the night sky create depth, and an immersive experience for the viewer.
