A fruitful King, one of Emokpae’s work on show
With a CV that includes countless shows and award winning work, Isaac Iken Ismahil Ọláminíyì Erhabor Ogieva Emokpae is not the artist who depends so much on his father’s legacy. He is a determined visual artist — painter and photographer — who dreams the future.
Yesterday, Isaac Emokpae’s solo show, In My Father’s House, was part of the grand opening of Gallery At The Landmark, Oniru Estate, Victoria Island, Lagos. Hannah Oghene is curating the show, which will run till June 4.
The gallery, which is a project managed by his sister, Mrs. Ighiwiyisi Jacobs (Nee Emokpae), is to provide a platform with the buttress of the Landmark Centre, for established and emerging African artists.
