Description
Yusof Majid, who studied at the Chelsea School of Art, is an avid fan of the Chelsea Football Club based at Stamford Bridge, but he returned to Malaysia before Russian businessman Roman Abramovich took over the club in 2003. Yusof is known for his whimsical airy-fairy light-hearted works revolving around fun-fairs, toys and clouds. He drew inspiration mostly from his childhood memories, with a decidedly British feel.
