Amusing and quirky scenes like this are not a rare sight in Yusof Majid’s style of painting.

Yusof spent most of his first 27 years in Britain where he graduated with a BA in Art in 1991, and Master’s in 1993. He returned to Malaysia for good in 1995, and set up his gallery business which he first named Darling Muse. His first solo was in France, at the Municipal Hall in Bergerac.
