Shafiq Nordin is highly acclaimed for his surreal, delicate compositions which mimic the effects of woodcut prints using stark outlines to produce a visually striking impression. In We Fight For Nothing, two winged sharks rise in various directions, suggesting the ultimate struggle for survival. Shafiq’s imaginative works reflect his observations of contemporary society, revealing a captivating story / socio political message using interesting elements. 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. His second solo exhibition Aletheia was held at G13 gallery in 2018.
