Serampang belongs to Yusof Ghani’s Siri Topeng, a series developed in the early 1990s as a critical extension of his exploration into cultural identity and psychological depth. The 1993 canvas merges figuration with abstraction, employing masks as a recurring motif to question performative roles within society. Published in Siri Topeng (Rusli Hashim Fine Art, 1996), this work is recognized as part of the foundational visual discourse that shaped Ghani’s later narrative and aesthetic evolution.
