Working from nature, the artist employs powerful, liberating brushstrokes to evoke the vitality of the natural landscape. At a close glance, elements such as the solid contours of tree branches emerge from the earthy palette of rich browns, orange and yellow hues. Charged with movement and expressive energy, the poetic landscape reflects the artist deep reverence for nature, visualized through the artist's mind. Dato' Yusof Ghani started out doing Art-related jobs for 10 years without formal education. He was artist-illustrator at the Agriculture Ministry (1967), instructor in the Fisheries Institute, Penang (1971) and a graphic artist at Radio-Television Malaysia (1977). Then he got a scholarship to study for his BFA at the George Mason University in the United States (1981), and MFA at the Catholic University in Washington, USA (1983). On his return, he lectured at the Universiti ITM with the rank of Associate Professor, but unleashed some of the most memorable art series: Tari, Topeng, Wayang, Hijau, Segerak, Biring, Wajah, Ombak, Kuda and Cenderawasih. He organised the Shah Alam Biennale involving artists from 15 countries in 2016. Yusof Ghani made his London foray with an exhibition, Segerak VI - Transcendent Figures, at the Asia House in early April 2017. Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers with partners Galeri Prima and Pinkguy Gallery organised Segerak VIII: Utopia, the final edition of Segerak series, in August 2019. The exhibition received good responses. In December 2021, a painting from the Tari series painted by Dato' Yusof Ghani realised RM 403,200 at Henry Butcher Art Auction.
