Launched in 2003, the Sovereign Asian Art Prize is a prestigious annual art award. The prize aims to increase international exposure for artists in the Asia-Pacific region while also raising funds for programs that support disadvantaged children through the use of expressive arts.
Mark Chung is known for his thought-provoking multimedia installations that explore themes of duality, power structures, and the chaos of everyday life. His exhibitions often feature a contrast between carefully constructed and intentionally broken or deconstructed objects. Claustrophobic settings that evoke a sense of confinement are juxtaposed with imagery and videos that suggest freedom and open space.
