Shafiq Nordin combines street art and pop elements to make dynamic pieces that speak about issues happening today. Space Panda features an illustration of a panda with a green dollar sign on its head (it's all about money), dressed in a unique type of body suit. Across paintings, sculptures, and installations, his works are distinguished by meticulous detail and rendered in vibrant colours that command attention.
