Welcome to the Social Art Award 2025 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many powerful contributions from artists across the globe. The selected works reflect the diversity of contemporary social art practices and address urgent issues such as climate and water crises, social and economic inequality, migration, conflict, discrimination, and the protection of human and more-than-human life.
Below you will find the submissions from the edition of 2024/2025 that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and supports dialogue around their themes; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your inspiring and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping the Social Art Award 2025.
Social Soup
Anastasi Vishni
"Social Soup" is a transparent, almost watery oil painting on a loose canvas, designed to hang freely on a wall. Created through an intuitive process, the artwork emerged without a predetermined composition or figurative structure. Instead, it took shape organically, guided by the artist’s subconscious. The process began with chaotic lines, allowing intuition to reveal hidden forms—just as life in the ocean evolves without force. Creatures emerge, merge, and transform, existing in a fluid symbiosis with their environment. Upon closer inspection, a surreal underwater world unfolds, where beings intertwine and dissolve into one another, blurring the boundaries between individuality and coexistence.
