Shida is one of Brisbane's street art heavyweights and a regular presence on the walls of Melbourne for some years, honing a distinctive and beautiful aesthetic across a wide range of mediums.
Alongside his prolific street practise Shida has been well received by both Australian and European galleries, and has rapidly garnered respect from his peers and attention in the scene as an artist to be watched.
Shida’s futuristic mystics inhabit a mythic distant universe and traverse elaborate multiple dimensions, with swirling colours buried deep within layers of resin. There is a beguiling magic to Shida’s work which envelopes one in his fantastic world.
Fresh from success in his 2009 solo exhibition ‘Fate’s Fantasy’ at Vienna’s Inoperable gallery, the ‘Stroke 2.0’ urban art fair in Munich, and sell out Brisbane shows, Until Never is proud to present Shida’s first Melbourne solo exhibition, Crystals of the Colossus.
