The Segerak series, initiated in 2003 marks the artist's return to figuration and explores the antitheses of life through celebration and aggression, triumph and conflict, embodied within the human figure. The artist investigates dynamic figurative movement within space, articulated through rhythmic contours of the figures. The colour palette in this series is bold and vibrant, with the canvas radiating rich hues of purple, red, yellow and blue. The graceful and swift movements are well captured. 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 Siri Tari series painted by Dato’ Yusof Ghani realised RM 403,200 at Henry Butcher Art Auction.
