Yusof Ghani’s Tari Series were first exhibited in 1989 at Galeri Citra, and is 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 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. 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.
