Description

Sold as part of ebay 'Artober'. Thomas’ artwork explores themes related to perspective, identity, commodity, media, and popular culture to spotlight contemporary social issues. One of his most notable pieces, ALL LI ES MATTER, received international attention after it was featured on the cover of New York magazine’s 50th anniversary art project issue, and as one of 52 billboards presented by For Freedoms in every U.S. state, plus Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, in the leadup to the 2018 Midterm Elections. The artist has created a special signed and numbered limited edition print of this potent work to offer this October. Four-hundred editions, hand signed by the artist, will be available to eBay’s millions of buyers for $375. Proceeds will benefit the non-profit Public Art Fund, which provides democratic access to contemporary art by today’s most important artists, expanding the impact of contemporary art in New York City and beyond. “I see visual culture as the frontline in the battle to make all lives matter, in the truest sense. Some of my works are more overt, others more opaque. But the narrative always leads back to my desire to upset entrenched narratives about what it means to belong,” said Hank Willis Thomas. Screen Print, 24"x18".
