Social Art (or Community Art) is formed by activities of a professional artist in a community. The outcome of the artist’s interaction with members of the community, in addition to artistic creation, may result social improvement or change.
Many of my Ahmad Nadalian art works can be classified as social art. His social art works have also environmental dimensions.
Before Ahmad Nadalian stay in Hormuz Island, its magical nature’s precious soil was exported for industrial use. Through environmental art project and painting by using natural-colored soils and powder stoned Ahmad Nadalian symbolized Hormuz’s soil. He helped many local people mostly women to work in the field of sustainable tourism.
Over the many years I have stayed (since 2008) on Hormuz I have taught painting to the women of the island. The interaction is rich and I hope to provide art to help support each individual to develop their own vision of colour.
His long-term experience in Hormuz Island and Qeshm villages shows that doing artwork can be useful as a method to increase self-confidence.
To show social problems and access the hidden potential of people who are ignored, Ahmad Nadalian encouraged people with addictions to make simple drawings and used these raw materials to create paintings. Many of these drawings were given as models to women who were Nadalian pupils. They earned money by painting and sealing these art works.
Nadalian the result of any changes society should be tangible and positive. Ultimately, for him the economic and cultural achievements of this art are important.
After years of working in nature and society, for Nadlian, art is not just an intellectual spectacle. Maybe it can be therapeutic. Maybe it can feed a stomach and maybe it can change the way of life.
His art works on Hormuz Island began with environmental art, but over time it became more social. After a period of workshops in the early years when he settled on Hormuz Island, he was looking for a poetic retreat. He stayed in the nature of the southwest of Hormuz Island. he wanted to have a lyrical attitude. When for his basic needs come to the city, he realized the a big gap between the beauty of nature and the quality of life of the people there. The human and social realities woke me up and led him to another world.
