Under the agreement between the Malaysian and Chinese governments, the giant panda pair would remain in the country for 10 years.

Shafiq Nordin (b. 1989) Designated Survivor, 2016
Est: RM7,500 - RM12,500
Shafiq has created visually stimulating works, highlighting animals with refined lines and repetitive use of signature motifs including masks and the crest of a wave in the background. Parasite #4 is skilfully presented in his signature style, with techniques that resemble the characteristics of woodblock printing, presenting metaphors for his observations of issues related to politics and society. 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 recent solo exhibition Aletheia achieved great success (sold out)! 153 x 153cm

Shafiq Nordin (b. 1989) Designated Survivor, 2016
Est: RM7,000 - RM11,000
This work is illustrated in the artistâs signature style which mimics the effects of woodcut prints using coarse outlines to produce a sharp effect. Mythical creatures of land and sea move in various directions, suggesting great mystery and create a sense of drama. Shafiqâs work reflects his observations of contemporary society, reinterpreted in a stimulating visual language. The ape is sitting precariously on a fragile floating wooden block, where danger is imminent, with vicious and aggressive sharks poised to attack. It could be a reflection on the political situation in Malaysia, where politicians are fighting for the top post or higher positions. 152 x 122cm

SHAFIQ NORDIN (b. 1989) HIDDEN INTRUDER, 2014, Acrylic and lino ink on jute
Est: RM12,000 - RM18,000
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 the 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).
