About Jalaini Abu Hassan

Jalaini Abu Hassan (b. 1963, Selangor), popularly known as “Jai”, is a prominent contemporary Malaysian artist and lecturer. His art plays with time and personal history, often drawing on memories of his childhood growing up in a village in Taiping, Perak. He is widely known for utilising bitumen in his work, which gives his painted scenes a nostalgic sepia tint. He received his Bachelor’s degree at the MARA Institute of Technology (UiTM), where he currently teaches, before furthering his art education at the Slade School of Fine Art in London and the Pratt Institute in New York. He has had multiple solo exhibitions in Malaysia, along with a few in Singapore, Indonesia, and the United States. His works have been collected by the National Art Gallery and numerous private collections.
