    Est: RM10,000 - RM18,000

    Executed in 2002 as part of the artist's Breathing Series, this work presents a round organic form reminiscent of a seed.

  • Zulkifli Yusoff - Dari Lembu Jadi Jin, 1996
    Apr. 26, 2026

    Zulkifli Yusoff - Dari Lembu Jadi Jin, 1996

    Est: RM30,000 - RM55,000

    Jin is pejorative for a supernatural creature, and here, Zulkifli Yusoff turned the lembu (cow), a hard-working livestock, into a jin (related to magical Aladdin lamp?). Subverting such trajectory, fellow artist Juhari Said exalted the lembu to the top of the food chain in his 1999 woodcut, Katak Nak Jadi Lembu. In motor vehicles, the letter, L, also refers to a rookie or a rank amateur. This was a time of Zulkifli's Brave New Art held at The Art Gallery in 1996. In 1996, he also created his installation masterpiece, Don't Play During Maghrib, which was shown at the 47th Venice Biennale in 1997. Zulkifli delves into Malay historical tomes like The Malay Annals, Hikayat Munshi Abdullah, Malay Sketches and Hang Tuah to highlight current foibles, hypocrisy, indiscretions and treachery. The miscreants of past feudal society morphed into the modern-day Professor Katak, Professor Kangkong, the lecherous Ahmad and Jibul. In Zulkifli's book, Icons (Wei Ling Gallery), Hasnul Saidon described Zulkifli as an "epitome of Neo-Expressionist impulse, Malay angst and dilemma." Zulkifli Yusoff emerged as the art super nova in the late 1980s when he won the Major Award in the Young Contemporary Artists (BMS) competition in 1988 and 1989, and capped it by winning the highly coveted Minister's Grand Prize in Salon Malaysia in 1992, together with 1st and 3rd Prizes in Sculpture. He taught at his alma mater University ITM and then Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris in Tanjung Malim, and was awarded the National Academy Award (Visual Art) in 2007. After ITM, he studied for his Masters at the Manchester Polytechnic in England. He took part in the Venice Biennale twice, first in 1997 under Modernities and Memories: Recent Works from the Islamic World and again in 2019 under the Malaysian Pavilion. He was also chosen for the inaugural Asia-Pacific Triennial of Art in Brisbane in 1993, and the Singapore Biennale and Art Stage Singapore in 2013.

    Apr. 26, 2026

    Zulkifli Yusoff - Api Sudah Mula Ku Bakar, 1997

    Est: RM9,000 - RM16,000

    One of Malaysia's most influential contemporary artists, Zulkifli Yusoff has worked across a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, and installation. In this intriguing composition, his distinctive stylized forms are enlivened, imbued with a sense of expressive movement. Influenced by the events of his era, his compositions reveal a bold spirit of experimentation, with black outlines accentuating and reinforcing the overall visual impact. The title of the artwork is translated as 'the fire that has started burning'. Zulkifli won the topmost Grand Minister's Prize in the Salon Malaysia in 1992, apart from the 1st and 3rd Prizes in Sculpture. He won the Major Award in the Bakat Muda Sezaman in 1988 and jointly in 1989.

    Apr. 26, 2026

    Zulkifli Yusoff - Itik Pulang Petang II, 2009

    Est: RM12,000 - RM22,000

    Zulkifli Yusoff's Itik Pulang Petang II bursts with the layered iconography and pop-historical wit that has long defined the artist's practice. A kaleidoscope of imagery including ducks, scooters, bar stools, Malay text fragments, and balloons, collide in a composition that feels both nostalgic and subversively alive. Central to the work is a pair of stylised glasses, rendered almost like a logo or cipher, ringed by geometric arcs that evoke targets, optics, or cosmic diagrams. Zulkifli Yusoff, one of Malaysia's foremost artists, often uses collage-like painting to reflect on nationhood, memory, and vernacular life. Here, the titular itik pulang petang (ducks returning at dusk) alludes to an idiom evoking rural routines and fading light; perhaps also gesturing toward the end of an era, or the gentle return of the marginalised into view.

    Zulkifli Yusoff (b. 1962) Pak Hitam (Uncle Black - An Old Song Using The Icon Of A Drunk Person) - Malaya Series, 2009

    Est: RM12,000 - RM22,000

    Uncle Black (Pak Hitam) belongs to Zulkifli Yusoff's Malaya Series (2007-2009), where history, folklore and pop idioms converge in canvases that probe Malaysia's colonial legacy and post-independence identity. Here, he does not merely illustrate the past but reassembles it, drawing on proverbs, archival references, and cultural icons to expose how national memory is both preserved and distorted. The titular "Pak Hitam" becomes a cipher for forgotten figures, framed within a dense visual language of collage, text and flat colour. The Malaya Series marked a shift from Yusoff's raw, gestural 1990s critiques of Reformasi-era politics toward a more research-based, historically inflected practice. By using silkscreen-like graphics and Pop-inflected hues, he renders serious episodes such as colonial resistance or cultural myth in a vocabulary closer to comic strips than textbooks. That tension is deliberate: the works balance humour with critique, nostalgia with unease. Seen within his wider oeuvre from Penceramah (1999) to the Rukunegara works (2012), Uncle Black (Pak Hitam) epitomises Yusoff's role as cultural storyteller and skeptic. The canvas invites viewers not to accept history at face value but to recognise how the past continues to shape Malaysia's contested present.

    Zulkifli Yusoff often delves into the politics, history and folklore of the tanah air, to edify his canvas. The Malay Annals, Hang Tuah, Hikayat Munshi Abdullah, Malay Sketches (referencing the assassination in Pasir Salak), and the national treatise, the Rukun Negara, as a purge of the bloody internecine racial strife of May 13, 1969. With the five tenets and the New Economic Policy as its cornerstone, the Rukun Negara aimed to redress economic disparities among the races for a just society. The sculpture is presented in an orbital form made up of a complex layering of black and white strips accented with colours. Small images of fish motifs were affixed to the layers. The artist's keen perception of scale, design, proportion, and skill in transforming materials are reflected in this work.

    The swagger and waggle of the itik (ducks) are used by Zulkifli Yusoff to comment on the lenggang-lenggok (seductive sway) of the gait of nubile Malay woman. During the Melayu Pop era of the 1960s, Malay woman wore tight figure-hugging kebayas. For all the irony, a feeling of nostalgia comes through strongly. Imprints of duck motifs in different pastel hues are plentiful and the one on the top right leaves its footprints all over. Psychedelic array of love symbols are featured, some of which have morphed into diamonds. Images vie with text excerpted from the song and arranged randomly, while the head of a typical Malay female entertainer is replicated and hidden, either in parts or behind a curtain of crossed lines.

    ZULKIFLI YUSOFF : Cemburu, 2009

    Est: RM38,000 - RM60,000

    Zulkifli Yusoff has shifted between multiple mediums, from sculpture to painting, to convey his social messages. But it is through installation works, while still a student at UiTM, that he first gained prominence in the late 1980’s. Zulkifli grew up in Malaysia during a time of racial turmoil. Much of his current work is in response to this period of time, and he works from historical readings and as well as lived experiences. The artist considers his works to be “a dialogue on nation building and the making of a people.” The artist’s choice of composition keeps visitors constantly alert and aware of the visual statements that surround them. Often, his works reflect his take on the subject of power and socio-political issues. His pieces aim to reveal contemporary issues of power, identity and collective thought through the use of a variety of media. He uses his work to question the past and current state of the Malaysian identity, and it is also intended to trigger a dialogue regarding the understanding and application of the subject on both individual and national levels. While laden with the artist’s social commentary, Zulkifli’s works remain a visual treat layered with much depth.

    Zulkifli Yusoff's caricature in-your-eye works of the 1990s made him somewhat into a pahlawan 'Daumier', with the Power Series and Reformasi Series taking rein. While his characters are like the individual chessboard play stands, they have all taken own features of their own, some with suave dressings and some with subhuman looks and demeanour. Starting with digs against the pedantic academic Professor Kangkong and the lecherous Ahmad, the jabs become harder in the wake of Reformasi over the sacking and later jailing of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (then deputy prime minister). While the artist does not necessarily make a stand on the 'issues' he projects in his works, the statement can cut in strong. Zulkifli won the Major Award in the Young Contemporary Artists (BMS) competition in 1988 and 1989. In 1992, he landed Malaysia's biggest art award when won the Grand Minister's Prize in Salon Malaysia in 1992, apart from the 1st and 3rd Prizes in Sculpture.

    The philosopher George Santayana once proclaimed: "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Zulkifli Yusoff often delves into the politics, history and folklore of the tanah air, to edify his canvas. The Malay Annals, Hang Tuah, Hikayat Munshi Abdullah, Malay Sketches (referencing the assassination in Pasir Salak), and more recently, the national treatise, the Rukun Negara, as a purge of the bloody internecine racial strife of May 13, 1969. With the five tenets and the New Economic Policy as its cornerstone, the Rukun Negara aimed to redress economic disparities among the races for a just society. The five tenets behind the philosophical wellsprings are: Belief in God; Loyalty to King and Country; Supremacy of the Constitution; Rule of Law; and Courtesy and Morality. Zulkifli Yusoff had the distinction of having featured in two Venice Biennale appearances, the first in 1997, under Modernities and Memories: Recent Works from the Islamic World, and another in 2019. He won the hugely coveted Grand Minister's Prize and the Major Award for Sculpture at the 3rd Salon Malaysia in 1992, and the Major Award in the Bakat Muda Sezaman in 1988 and 1989 (jointly). He also won the National Academic Award (Visual Art) in 2007. He was selected for various prestigious exhibitions such as the Asia-Pacific Triennial in Brisbane, Australia (1993), the Singapore Biennale and Art Stage Singapore, both in 2013.
