This thesis presents a reading of the
metamorphosis of the art of the Nigerian glass designs of Frank Ugiomoh and
Nsikak Essien, drawing on the seminal theme of biography as a provisional means
of accessing artistic substance. Using an analytical approach, these masters'
key artworks are analyzed. Site-specific photographs of the Church provide
nuanced comments on biblical messages, the teaching of the Church and the
Liturgy. In the art world of Nigeria, image making tooling mechanisms and
story-telling practises are commonplace. A hermeneutic investigation, however,
is conducted to help unravel the tooling processes and art making traditions
used by the artists in their engagement with the cognomen of natural synthesis
to influence the paradigm of ecclesia in Africa. Frank Ugiomoh 's designs are
addressed with a hermeneutic description that draws attention to theIn the
creation and development of glass designs, the peculiarities of his artistry
are emblematic. The analysis, however, revealed I that the artist Nsikak Essien
diligently sourced his ideas on mimetic reinstatements of the canons of
academia in re-upholstering his pictures; but introduced linear schemes
extracted from the art forms of his Nigerian art world , specifically Uli and
Nsibidi; while (ii) Ugiomoh toed the intellectually subtle repositioning of
themes and instrumentation mechanisms, A mission that must be left to the
exegetes of a future text is the thrust of the discourse of power.
