Melbourne Art Fair is thrilled to announce Hany Armanious and Fine Arts, Sydney, as this year’s recipient of the Richard Parker Award. Founder of RATIONALE, an Official Partner of Melbourne Art Fair, Richard Parker brings a deep commitment to the support of contemporary art to all endeavours. This year, he was at the Fair virturally, selecting the winner in close collaboration with Sharmini Rajarethnam, CEO of RATIONALE. Viewing art as inseparable from the function of daily life and culture, RATIONALE believes in the intrinsic value of artmaking and the paths of connection it forms across our lives.

Hany Armanious is a sculptor whose work is predominantly concerned with the magical properties of the casting process. Many of his works deal with the alchemical transformation of one object into another via what the artist has described as the ‘cult of casting’. 

Discover Hany Armanious’ work alongside works from over 60 galleries and Indigenous art centres, along with the debut iteration of FUTUREOBJEKT at Melbourne Art Fair.
