LucFosther Diop was born in Douala, Cameroon in 1980.

In 2003 LucFosther graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Yaoundé 1 , Cameroon.

That same year he attended an influential artist residency at Art Bakery (founded by cameronese artist Goddy Leye).

In 2006 LucFosther Diop moved to Douala and started travelling with a group of seven artists. This project was called EXITOUR, and consisted of travelling through seven west African countries. It eventually led to the Dakart Biennale 2006.

In 2009 LucFosther entered a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam where he currently lives and works.

His work is based on drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, performance, photography and video.

One of his videos, “Around and Around” was recently showing at the “Forms and topographies : African Cityscape in flux” project, curated by Dominique Fontaine at the 2nd Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art in Greece.
