The use of form and light to depict positive movements and energy are characteristic of Segerak. The artist uses primarily oil and charcoal in consistent and singular colour tones to give focus and attention to the changes in mood. He delves into progress, enlightenment, and focuses on what should always be the anchor of future developments — tradition and culture. 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. After crashing into the art scene with his Tari series, he followed up with Topeng, Wayang, Hijau, Segerak, Biring, Wajah and Ombak. Curate Henry Butcher 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.
