Mik Shida: Mythographies

Overview

Join in the celebrations of the homecoming of Mik Shida’s works when this internationally recognised artist comes to Brisbane’s own Powerhouse.

His works, spanning some 10 years and many countries, takes indoor and outdoor spaces and transforms them into monolithic works with minute details. He reconstructs spaces and perceptions through stylising and saluting classic techniques, pairing mastery and bewilderment. His murals are monumental artworks that demand note and admiration.

Shida’s latest collection, Mythographies, continues in the same direction as previous works, guided by imagination and intuition. It’s been described as the culmination of his works and experiences as an artist. The exhibition has toured through Sydney and Melbourne, finding its final place of celebration in Brisbane, where Shida’s painting career first began. A fitting location, particularly for a collection of work so enamoured by and concerned with history.

A dazzling combination of Science Fiction Art, French Post-Impressionism and Russian Symbolist Art, where the ethereal meets the immovable. It must be seen to be believed and experienced.
