Lucky Isaiah

Lucky Okon Isaiah is a Nigerian painter born in December 1980. His family is from Mkpat Enin in Akwa Ibom State, but he grew up and went to school in Lagos: Adeniyi Jones Primary School in Ikeja, then Agidingbi Grammar School. He trained in art at Auchi Polytechnic, one of Nigeria's best-known art schools, and earned his Higher National Diploma (HND) in 2008. He did his national youth service in 2009 at the Niger State Ministry of Arts and Culture. He later became creative director of Green Palette Art Studio in Lagos. A gallery profile says he has taken part in group exhibitions in Nigeria and abroad, but it names none. His listed work includes 'Bata Dancers', a Yoruba drumming and dance subject, which suggests he paints Nigerian culture and performance scenes. No museum holdings or auction results were found.

School or movement: Auchi School (Auchi Polytechnic-trained Nigerian contemporary).
