ABSTRACT

In a vibrant society, people tend to promote their cultural identities while at the same time spontaneous towards adaptation of other cultures. This study critically examines purposively selected works of printmaking artists that reflect the dynamism of culture in contemporary Nigerian art. The study relies on field investigation which includes visual media sources, as well as interviews with the selected printmaking artists. Data were also collected from catalogues of art exhibitions, textbooks, journal articles, as well as Internet sources. Data analysed through the descriptive approach were used to contextualise and provide more information on the printmakers and how their works intersect culture. The results of this study reveal a fusion and a continuum of contemporary with traditional African culture in which several strands of indigenous, international and modernistic elements are rearranged into pictorial composition in the works of the printmaking artists.
