| Synopsis : | It has been eight years since Zulkifli Yusoff held a solo exhibition of his works in Malaysia, and this exhibition promises to deliver some of his most provocative artworks to date. Using a combination of media in a layered format, including a blend of silk-screen, painting, photographic transfers, drawings, embossing and fibreglass, Zulkifli’s new works draw direct reference to historical and current events that have made a mark on Malaysian society. He was particularly inspired by the book written by Frank Swettenham in the 19th century entitled ‘Malay Sketches’, and has expanded on a number of the themes in the book in his new paintings. Zulkifli Yusoff has been hailed as one of Malaysia’s most cutting-edge contemporary artists. Recognised for his thought-provoking artworks and his ability to capture and document the essence of the society within which he lives, his monumental works have been collected extensively throughout the region. He has been acknowledged with numerous accolades and awards over the years, and was the recipient of the Young Contemporary Award for two consecutive years in 1988 and 1989. |
