Yusof’s Ghani’s Tari Series were first exhibited in 1989, in an exhibition at Galeri Citra, and is one of the artist’s most popular series to date. Depicted in a monochrome palette, the artwork consists of human figures depicted in several dance postures, and features an iconic presentation of gestural movement and figure ground relationship. Yusof Ghani worked in art-related jobs for 10 years before his art education in the United States and he started lecturing at the Mara Institute of Technology, and held the rank of Associate Professor. He graduated with a MFA at the Catholic University, Washington (1983), after obtaining his Bachelor’s (Graphic Art) at the George Mason University, Virginia (1981). All his major works were produced after his American exposures: Tari, Topeng, Wayang, Hijau, Segerak, Biring, Wajah and Ombak. In 1985, he won the Minor Award in the PNB art competition in KL. His base gallery, Tapak, organised the Shah Alam Biennale in 2016. Yusof Ghani made his London debut in an exhibition, Segerak VI – Transcendent Figures, at the Asia House in April 2017.
