Nwanna, Ukwa, Job Nworie;	SCIENCE OF SIGNS AND SYMBOLS: MATERIAL MANIPULATION, MEANING-MAKING AND MEDIA ADVANCEMENT IN PAINTING	2024	21	.pdf	application/pdf	5486	191	38	This is because in Africa, in the very beginning, local materials adapted as art materials were conceived of as having inherent life of their own, hence they are used for rituals as mediators between humanity and divinity. Among the Nigerian artists that have explored abstract expressionism in their use of symbolic local material in painting are Krydz Ikwuemesi in his Pot with Uli pattern, a symbolic painting on a traditional earthen clay pot, Stanley Eze’s Abstract and Conceptual, a painting on clay pots, Chukwuemeka Okpara’s African stories, an Uli painting with sand colour pigment on earthen pots.	cache/feschschrifts-4166.pdf	txt/feschschrifts-4166.txt
