His paintings can be found in the collections of all major art musuems and corporations throughout Malaysia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Biring\u2019 is his latest, most original series to date. In a departure from his last series \u2018Segerak\u2019(2003-2006),which focused on the human form, \u2018Biring\u2019,which is the artist\u2019s interpretation of a cock-fight, symbolizes the heroism and strife between mankind. Using bold ,expressive brush strokes and a myriad of colours, Yusof Ghani captures the exhilaration and tension between the cockerels in their fight for life. In a flurry of feathers, the cockerels attack each other relentlessly as they chase one another across the canvas. All the works possess an astonishing fluidity about them, despite the ever-present hostility between the birds. \u2018Biring\u2019 is definitely one of Yusof Ghani\u2019s most enlightened body of works, for not only have the works been painted with wild abandon and freedom, but more importantly demonstrate the artist\u2019s ability to leave the comfort of the familiar. This exhibition will be accompanied by a hard-cover book to mark the launch of \u2018Biring\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>An exhibition not to be missed by fans and collectors of Yusof Ghani , \u2018Biring\u2019 runs at Wei-Ling Gallery from March 5th-April 5th 2007.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>This show is proudly sponsored by Peninsular Gold Ltd.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/contemporary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/biring-sponsor.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8080 \" src=\"https:\/\/weiling-gallery.com\/contemporary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/biring-sponsor.jpg\" alt=\"biring-sponsor\" width=\"201\" height=\"168\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Sponsor&#8217; s message<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>In the artist\u2019s recreation of the world we are enabled to see the world<\/em><br \/>\n<em> John W Gardner<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Peninsular Gold Ltd is pleased to present to you Biring, an exhibition of Yusof Ghani\u2019s latest series of paintings at Wei-Ling Gallery.
