The quality and consummate execution sum it up well. Choreographing the lines and splatters of selected colours and eventually finding a resolution through the strobes of white lines are hallmarks of the process of mixing chaos and beauty. Paper works of Tari and other series first saw day in the Paintings Drawings and Installation Works exhibition at GaleriCitra, Kuala Lumpur (March 1989), and they included some etchings too. Then came the Works On Paper solo at Galeri Wan’s bungalow space in Kuala Lumpur (August 1992), which featured works from 1987-1992. An established artist hitting 70 next year, Yusof Ghani is also an academician (Universiti ITM), gallerist (Tapak Gallery) and collector. Through Tapak, he organised the Shah Alam Bienniale starting in 2016. He was doing illustrations and graphic designs for 10 years before a scholarship changed his life. He studied for his BFA at the George Mason University (1981), and then MFA at the Catholic University in Washington, USA (1983). His notable series were Tari, Topeng, Wayang, Hijau, Segerak, Biring, Wajah and Ombak. In 2017, he had a solo, Segerak VI – Transcendent Figures, in London. Segerak VIII, the final episode of Segerak Series, was organised by Curate Henry Butcher, Galeri Prima, and Pinkguy Gallery in August 2019, and received well response.
