台灣社會受到多次大規模移民潮影響，集結各民族的資源，產生豐富多元的文化，由於特殊的歷史背景及文化的變遷，使各種藝術能夠多元呈現，包括木刻版畫也有獨特的發展。基於個人對於本土的熱愛與興趣，探討木刻版畫中的「本土意象」，希望台灣的本土文化可以藉由文獻的整理得以延續與傳承。台灣本土版畫家林智信的木刻版畫作品，呈現的鄉土意識非常濃厚，深具民間特色；他不斷以「台灣鄉土」做為創作題材，大量呈現台灣的風土民情，屢獲國內外獎項，並受邀於世界各國展出，對台灣文化的貢獻功不可沒；耗盡二十年光陰才完成的「迎媽祖」巨幅版畫作品，成為世界最長的一幅版畫，並且揚名國際；因此，本文選定林智信的木刻版畫作品為研究題材。本研究採用質性研究，以文獻分析法進行探討，目的在瞭解台灣現代木刻版畫有關「本土意象」之內容與形式的發展。並對林智信的台灣本土意象版畫風格與主題加以歸納及分類，再從歸納出的主題及特色，尋求台灣本土意象創作的脈絡，希望可以提供教學或研究創作「台灣本土意象」取材時之參考。根據本研究發現：林智信創作的意象、內涵與特質，充滿台灣人苦幹、蠻幹的牛勁，數量多且大，作品表現台灣本土情懷，展現本土意象，為台灣留下美麗的圖像，作品兼具藝術性與文化價值。
