The late watercolour artist Mohd Yusof Abdul Wahid, popularly known as Mass Yusoff, had been eagerly planning to return to the art scene with a new gallery exhibition in September this year.

However, that plan was tragically dashed when the prolific painter died in July of complications from Covid-19. He was 65.
