With swift gestures drawn in pencil, the artist has captured the voluptuous curves of a reclining female nude in a seductive pose. Refined shading in the background provides contrast to the scene and creates a tender atmosphere filled with emotion. 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 and Ombak. He organised the Shah Alam Biennale twice, in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Yusof Ghani made his London foray with an exhibition, Segerak VI – Transcendent Figures, at the Asia House, on April 3-7, 2017.
