(Born in 1952, in Niiya Ibom State, Nigeria. Lives and works in Lagos, Nigeria.)

Emmanuel Ekong Ekefrey is a self taught artist whose work draws from both the culture and mythology of his own Ibibio people, and the everyday urban life of Lagos where he lives, which combine to create a striking vibrancy of form and colour.

Emmanuel Ekong Ekefrey’s work has been exhibited at the Aspect of Nude:Selection from the Permanent Collection at the California African American Museum, California and at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. He also has pieces in The Jean Pigozzi Contemporary African Art Collection.
