In Siri Tari, Yusof Ghani employed poetic colours layered with forms accentuated in black lines that express movement. In the Tari series, Yusof Ghani delivers a powerful and intense rendition of colliding figures unfolding in sequential movements. The work offers a glimpse of the graceful contours of the dancers rendered with delicacy.
Yusof Ghani worked as an artist-illustrator at the Agriculture Ministry (1967), instructor in the Fisheries Institute, Penang (1971) and a graphic artist at Radio-Television Malaysia (1977) before he got a scholarship to obtain 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 he is better known for his series of paintings - Tari, Topeng, Wayang, Hijau, Segerak, Biring, Wajah, Ombak and Kuda. He organised the Shah Alam Biennale involving artists from 15 countries in 2016. In April 2017, Yusof Ghani made his London debut with an exhibition, Segerak VI - Transcendent Figures, at the Asia House. His Segerak VIII - Utopia exhibition was organised by Henry Butcher Art Auctioneers in 2019 and was well received.
