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.
Echoes of the Deep
Daria Wagner
"Echoes of the Deep" is an abstract exploration of the ocean's hidden realms, set against a profound black backdrop that symbolizes the depths of the unknown. The vibrant turquoise strokes dance across the canvas, reminiscent of sunlight filtering through the water's surface, revealing the enchanting worlds that lie beneath. These luminous bursts evoke the essence of marine life and the stories they hold, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the magic of the ocean. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to protect our seas and the delicate balance of life they sustain. The turquoise hues represent not only the beauty of the ocean but also the vital importance of preserving its health for future generations. In a time when our planet faces unprecedented challenges, "Echoes of the Deep" calls for a collective commitment to safeguarding our oceans, nurturing our belief in the fantastical, and restoring harmony between humanity and nature. Let us cherish and protect these aquatic wonders, ensuring that the tales of the deep continue to inspire and enchant.
