Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
- Works on commission
Isaac Iken Emokpae, a Nigerian visual artist with a self-taught foundation enriched by formal tutelage at the University of Lagos, works across painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, and conceptual media. He employs abstract expressionist techniques, mixed and new media, and often utilizes translucent materials like stained plexiglass to evoke the monad—the human soul. His artworks channel profound emotions of faith, the duality of existence, and the intimacy of family, inviting viewers to see the extraordinary in everyday African life.
