Hank Willis Thomas: Performing Artist in New York

About Hank Willis Thomas

Hank Willis Thomas is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist whose work examines identity, history, and the visual language of advertising and popular culture. In *Art in Focus: Hank Willis Thomas* at Rockefeller Center, his investigations of representation move into a highly public Midtown setting, where images circulate as quickly as the people. He draws on research-driven methods and collaborative projects to question how power is encoded in everyday media. His approach favors precision and context over spectacle.
