Lot description
Yusof Majid is known for his quirky almost-British humour of surreal, whimsical situations mostly involving people of Lilliputian size. Less is often more in Yusof Majid's mantra and the diminutive figures receive attention through the juxtaposition of amplified still life. Literature, topography, and history influenced his iconography. This work depicts a beautiful, imaginative landscape viewed from a high angle, bringing into view the subtle contours of the land, along with its lake and verdant pastures. Yusof Majid attended the Chelsea School of Art in London from 1988 to 1993, where he received his Master's in Painting. He taught Creative Studies at the Lim Kok Wing Institute of Creative Technology. He held his first solo exhibition in Malaysia titled Quiet Concerns at Valentine Willie Fine Art, Kuala Lumpur in 1995. He was awarded the Herbert Read Scholarship in 1993, and the Philip Morris Malaysia Commendation in 1996. His solo exhibition titled The NBD (Nature, Buildings and Daleks) Series was held at Nadine Fine Art in 2018. A gallery owner, Yusof established Darling Muse Gallery and changed its name to Pace Gallery and then again, Nadine Fine Art.
