Jalaini Abu Hassan or “Jai” is a contemporary Malaysian artist. His works are inspired by current events, expressed in local and familiar imagery and focused through his personal lens of nostalgia and history. Educated at MARA Institute of Technology (now UiTM), where he obtained his bachelor’s degree. Jai continued his education — under scholarship — at the prestigious institutions of the Slade School of Fine Art in London and Pratt Institute in New York, where he obtained his master’s degree and master of fine art respectively. A process painter, Jai is interested in the exploration of the act of creating a work, the exploration of materials and mediums, and the marks that form a drawing.
