The 1960s was a boom period in British printmaking due in part to new developments in photo-screenprinting and offset lithography that enabled artists to play with visual images and set them within fields of flat colour. Artists such as Allen Jones, Victor Pasmore, David Hockney and Joe Tilson created works that epitomized the 'swinging sixties' and were extremely influential across the world and particularly in Australia. Conflux is an exhibition of British prints from the 60s and prints by Western Australian artists from the 70s made in response. The works are drawn from the Curtin University of Technology Art Collection, and include works generously donated by Dr Douglas Kagi and on loan from private collectors.
