Screen print with UV gloss clear on 270gsm ebony paper // All Li es Matter by Hank Willis Thomas is a provocative 2019 screen print that uses visual wordplay to deliver a powerful social message. Printed on ebony paper with UV gloss clear, the artwork presents the phrase ALL LIVES MATTER, but strategically omits the letter V in LIVES, creating the phrase ALL LIES MATTER within the original statement. This typographic manipulation serves as a critique and reflection on the phrase All Lives Matter, questioning its implications and highlighting conversations about racial justice and the Black Lives Matter movement. The minimalist design, combined with the stark black-and-white contrast, enhances the work’s impact, prompting viewers to examine issues of language, truth, and social advocacy. This limited-edition print challenges perceptions and engages viewers in a nuanced dialogue about contemporary social discourse.
