Hank Willis Thomas
Hank Willis Thomas Who Taught You to Love? Signed and Numbered Print

2021

About the Item

11.4in x 33.5in Unframed 9-layer screenprint on Somerset Tub Sized 600gsm paper. Finished with Individually signature, dated and numbered. For American conceptual artist Hank Willis Thomas, art is a means to visualise a message. His expansive practice investigates the intersections of race, identity, collective consciousness and consumerism. Launched as part of a wider collaboration between Avant Arte and artist-run collective For Freedoms, the edition reprises Thomas’ billboard design for the organisation’s 2020 Awakening Campaign. I present the question, “Who taught you to love?” because it’s vital to understand how and who we love and care for. Can we create anything without love? These are important questions to reflect on. Our ideas of who is worthy of love are often shaped by the cultural messages we receive. We are influenced in ways we may not even notice by the media, popular culture, and advertising. I hope by raising these questions, people will think critically about the messages they receive from the images all around them every day.
