Hailing from the East Coast, Yusoff Abdullah demonstrates his connection to the places that he has visited. In this work, he captures the traditional boats that have been pulled ashore, as well as the boats at sea. A fisherman is resting peacefully near the boat, admiring the wide open skies with clouds drifting by, and at times, work a little..  Yusoff Abdullah belonged to the Angkatan SePelukis Malaysia generation of Dato' Hoessein Enas, known for portraits, landscape and historical events, executed in batik, oil and watercolour. He was the first Malaysian to exhibit in the former Soviet Socialist Republic in 1978, displaying his batik works at the Oriental Art Museum in Moscow. He was also a freelance photographer and once even set up an art gallery called Gallery 12 in a joint venture in Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
