Urban Spree Galerie presents “A Conduit Order”, the first solo show in Germany of the Australian visual artist and muralist Mik Shida. The exhibition will open in our Berlin galerie on Thursday, June 28th 2018, starting at 19:00.
Mik Shida was invited to Berlin by Urban Spree for a 2-month Art Residency which culminates into a presentation of a full new body of works, including large format paintings, and installations.
Shida’s paintings are shamanic “tableaux vivants” in which spiritual, ritualistic and organic elements coalesce, where temporality is transient, boundaries and space indistinct, where portals, alternative dimensions, spells and energy fields abound.
Spirits and movement are the materia prima of Shida’s oeuvre. The artist is a vessel, a conduit, through which sprits awaken, arise, and finally materialize within the paintings, within those transient spaces where the artist is allowed to conduct the dance, and is in turn being directed by the creations his paintings have summoned.
We can also view and understand Shida’s murals as spiritual beacons, large outdoor gateways meant to create an intercession with spirits.
Shida (born 1990) is an Australian

Mafia Tabak has designed a limited edition t-shirt for the Urban Spree Artist Series 2016.
Mafia Tabak is a young austrian graffiti and urban artist hailing from Vienna. Member of the Irga Irga Crew together with Knarf, Mik Shida, and Fresh Max, his painting and murals are explicit references to tv series, cartoons, animes, video games, software, remixes, photoshop, italo-disco etc…
His graffiti style is semi-abstract, with partially erased letters, blur lines, flowers and palm trees, definitively fresh. Each year, the tour embarks on a drinking and painting binge across Europe and publish a zine called “Wandblatt”.
The t-shirt is available in the Urban Spree webstore here and in our Berlin shop.
