Malaysian artist, Yusof Ghani was originally a graphic artist who transitioned to fine arts after receiving a government grant to study art at the George Mason University, Virginia in 1979 where he met Walter Kravitz, a professor in painting, who introduced him to fine arts. Inspired by American Abstract Expressionists – Pollock and de Kooning, he eventually decided to pursue fine art and develop his own style in painting. He then continued to work for a Master’s Degree at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and met Professor Tom Nakashima who taught him the finer points in painting. His first solo exhibition at Anton Gallery in Washington, D.C. with the “Protest” series was a success and gone on producing other series in various exhibitions ever since. Most of these collections have been bought by many international art collectors and have appreciated significantly. Currently, his mature works deals with contemporary issues concerning Malaysian society such as social issues regarding famine and injustice, the nation’s history, distortions of Asian motifs and depiction of visual energy.
