Bruce Onobrakpeya (1932- ), the foremost Nigerian Printmaker, is a prolific, humble giant among printers. He has invented many new techniques, taking the art of etching to new heights. Superman II is a lino engraving by which the Japanese paper is stretched over the surface of the plate, depressed into the grooves, and rolled with ink, creating a subtle color effect. Here a superman holds up eight athletes in, “a kind of acrobatic game.” The whole becomes a sculpture flanked by traditional designs on both sides. A Ride in the City of Golden Dust, a deep etching, shows a dignitary with an attendant holding the umbrella above him being pulled on a rickshaw. Texture and design are important elements of Onobrakpeya’s work. He has had important shows internationally and will be exhibited in New York next year.
