Help! A Buckingham Palace guard has gone astray and found himself by a seaside identified as in Shah Alam. With his absurd long hat and strapped with a bayonet, he looks positively weird and wonky, what with him wearing a ceramic sarong. He stands like a Gulliver, towering over the few miniscule onlookers watching him, like for sport. His mismatch of attire may explain why nobody is running in fear. What does this Colossus want, anyway? This is from Yusof Majid’s Peninsular Series, shown in his solo at the then Pace Gallery in Petaling Jaya, in 2013. If artist-gallerist Yusof Majid’s works look British, it probably is. He has lived the first 27 years of his life in Britain, where he was born. He graduated with a Master from the Chelsea School of Art in London in 1992, after his BFA in 1991. He decided to move back lock, stock and barrel, to Malaysia in 1995, but took some time before he had his first solo, Quiet Concerns, at the Valentine Willie Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur, in 2003. But his first solo was at the Municipal Hall in Bergerac, France. He has also set up the Darling Muse Gallery, and changed the name to Pace Gallery and then again, Nadine Fine Art. His last solo, Cherry Blossoms & The Rainforest, was held at his gallery in 2016.
