Asian Art Prize

The Sovereign Asian Art Prize was launched in 2003 to increase the international exposure of artists in the region, whilst raising funds for programmes that support disadvantaged children using expressive arts. Held annually, The Prize is now recognised as the most established and prestigious annual art award in Asia-Pacific.

The Sovereign Art Foundation is a charity providing arts programmes that support wellbeing and positive change for children who are economically disadvantaged, and experiencing social, emotional, and behavioural challenges.

How it works

Patronage offers networking and learning opportunities, as well as access to bespoke events, including private dinners, exhibition previews and educational talks. You will also have the opportunity to get more closely involved in our Make It Better workshops or excursions.

01

Nomination and Shortlisting

The Prize invites mid-career contemporary artists, nominated by a board of independent art professionals, to each enter up to three artworks online. A judging panel comprised of world-class art experts shortlist the 30 best artworks from a range of digital images.

02

Exhibition

The shortlisted artworks are then exhibited in Hong Kong, where they are judged for a second time and voted on by the public. The judges scores are aggregated, and a Grand Prize winner is named. The other shortlisted artworks are auctioned, and proceeds split evenly between the artists and SAF. Artists receive the same split as they would through a gallery and the artworks often fetch higher prices thanks to generous bidding from charity patrons.

03

Public Vote

To boost engagement and increase exposure for the artists, the general public are invited to cast a vote online or in person for their favourite artwork displayed in the exhibition.

04

US$30,000 Grand Prize

Nominated by Maryam Kuhestani 0

Dimension: 100 x 70cm
Medium: Oil on canvas

Atefe Namavar (b. 1982, Iran) holds a BA in Painting from the Faculty of Art, Shahed University, Iran (2006) and an MA in Painting from the Faculty of Art and Architecture, Azad University, Iran (2013). Her work is centred around depicting the various layers of Iranian family life. The impact of Persian literature and poetry on the imaginative nature of her painting is notable, and most clear in her latest series of work.

In the Birdhead series, Namavar took inspiration from the writings of Bijan Najdi, Iranian writer and poet, in which he states: “I cut off a bird’s head and concealed it, wanting the reader to gaze at the intensified movements and seizures of its body, wings, and feet; moments before the bird meets death and finds its movement in a state of repose, an instant of heightened fusion with life, in close vicinity of death…”. Just as Najdi, the artist considers no beginning and end for her paintings. Her vignettes, frozen in time, encapsulate the vivid nature of Najdi’s stories, allowing the viewer to clearly imagine the scene in their mind and feel the constant presence of her subjects.

Dimension: 100 x 70cm
Medium: Oil on canvas

Atefe Namavar (b. 1982, Iran) holds a BA in Painting from the Faculty of Art, Shahed University, Iran (2006) and an MA in Painting from the Faculty of Art and Architecture, Azad University, Iran (2013). Her work is centred around depicting the various layers of Iranian family life. The impact of Persian literature and poetry on the imaginative nature of her painting is notable, and most clear in her latest series of work.

In the Birdhead series, Namavar took inspiration from the writings of Bijan Najdi, Iranian writer and poet, in which he states: “I cut off a bird’s head and concealed it, wanting the reader to gaze at the intensified movements and seizures of its body, wings, and feet; moments before the bird meets death and finds its movement in a state of repose, an instant of heightened fusion with life, in close vicinity of death…”. Just as Najdi, the artist considers no beginning and end for her paintings. Her vignettes, frozen in time, encapsulate the vivid nature of Najdi’s stories, allowing the viewer to clearly imagine the scene in their mind and feel the constant presence of her subjects.
