Wayang, inspired by Yusof Ghani’s love for theatre and the cinema, was first shown at Galeri Citra in Kuala Lumpur in 1997, after a transitional show called Topeng-Wayang at the Jenkins Johnson Gallery in San Francisco in 1997, followed by Wayang II at Artfolio Gallery in Singapore in 1998. It was dubbed “Topeng with movement”. It is about the struggles in life and the subterfuges used. Two of the three Topeng series were held at Galeri Citra in 1993 and 1995 respectively, with the third at Takashimaya Gallery in Singapore. Yusof Ghani received his BA (Graphic Art) from the George Mason University in Virginia, USA (1981) and Master’s of Fine Art (Painting) at the Catholic University, Washington DC, USA (1983). He unveiled his Tarian Series in 1983 in an exhibition at his university before following it up at Galeri Citra in Kuala Lumpur in 1989.
