Bruce Onobrakpeya
Bruce Onobrakpeya is the best print maker in Africa. His many accolades include an honorable mention at the Venice Biennale. He is both innovative and conservative: innovative because he has developed innovative techniques for etching more deeply into the plate and building on the surface of the plate, resulting in very dramatic “topographical” prints; conservative because he has dedicated his artistic life to depicting and, therefore, preserving the rich Nigerian culture.
