Lot description
What chimerical creature is this, a grotesque mutant with a titled board for a head, having swallowed what looks like a shark so large that its head juts out from its behind, one with a tiny pair of horns and a wing? Around it are small creatures like rats and what looks like an opossum besides someone in astronaut garb. If you follow the title and what is written on the ‘face’ board, you may be left guessing who’s the ‘hidden intruder’ alluded. It’s like the Malay proverb, Duri dalam daging, or literally a ‘thorn in the flesh’ or it could be Mr. Hyde within the Dr. Jekyll. Shafiq Nordin is one of the fastest rising young artists since graduating with a BFA at the Universiti ITM, Shah Alam, in 2012 (He did his diploma at the Lendu campus in 2010). He won the Malaysia Emerging Artist Award (MEAA) in 2013 and had the Imperium MEAA solo at the HOM Art Trans in 2016. He was represented in Art Expo Malaysia for consecutive years. The year 2015 saw him taking part in art fairs in Sydney and Istanbul under Yavuz Gallery, while the Mizuma Gallery featured him in The Collective Young from Southeast Asia Gillman Barracks, Singapore. He was represented in Art Stage Singapore and Art Kaohsiung in 2017, as well as Art Busan in South Korea in 2018. Aletheia, a Solo Exhibition by Shafiq Nordin was held by G13 Gallery, Malaysia in 2018.
