About The Work
Hank Willis Thomas' conceptual works focus on themes relating to perspective, identity, commodity, media, and popular culture. ALL LI ES MATTER, 2019, modifies the phrase "All Lives Matter" that is used to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement. By removing one letter from the phrase, the artist creates an entirely different and counter poignancy, tackling centuries of lies and misrepresentations of Black people in America.
