Coming from his Brave New Art phase, Zulkifli’s Yusoff Tiga Abdul are characters of dubious morals, despicable habits and devious ethics who somehow inveigle themselves to positions of power. They are shone like Brasso-ed chess pieces, more hyperbole than substance, in a modern-day Daumier caricature. They are reminiscent of Zulkifli Yusoff’s tin chess pieces in his Power gamebook installation that won him the Young Contemporary Artists competition in 1988. They are a clip from P. Ramlee’s old movie slapsticks with social insights. They are the pretentious and partying Ahmad, the Professor Kangkong and the across-Thai-border lechers. One of the Angry Young Men to have emerged in art, he was dubbed by Dato’ Dr. Tan Chee Khuan as one of the most enigmatic young artists in the second half of the 1990s. Dato’ Tan was to give him three major exhibitions, the last mentioned in Kuala Lumpur – in 1996, 2000 and 2010.
