A REVIEW OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF TWO CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN ART HEROES

摘要

The contemporary art and artists of Africa is a period that has been taken from a particular point as a result of positive changes that have occurred. In Nigeria and Africa in general, this period emerged from the point where contact with the western word was established, that is, a break from traditional time. This period did not totally jettison traditional ideas. Various aspects of traditional ideas are fused together with the present ones to make it contemporary art. This paper recognizes and appreciates two artists of this period. The paper also paid attention to their background, art training as well as general contribution to art.
