Internationally recognized artist Hank Willis Thomas works across several disciplines and mediums and has recently created large-scale sculptures and monuments for the public realm. This installation at Offsite will be the first time three of Thomas’ polished stainless-steel sculptures will be exhibited together.
In his wide-ranging conceptual art practice, Thomas explores how contemporary society commodifies race and gender. His works—which span photography, sculpture, installation and more—often reflect on mass media representations and social justice. Originally trained as a photographer, he is interested in how popular imagery from advertisements, mass media and visual media inform cultural attitudes. In using images featuring Black men that circulate widely in popular culture (from Nike ads to political campaign images), the artist encourages the viewer to question commercial representations and cultural stereotypes.
Thomas has increasingly made work for the public realm, creating large-scale outdoor sculptures and monuments. His public sculptures often feature an isolated gesture from a photograph or circulated image, bringing a sense of intimacy to the public sphere. Thomas’ sculptures feature disembodied hand gestures that evoke gestures of protest, care and exaltation.
These works will take on particular resonance at Offsite, where they will be installed adjacent to the public route of protests and political marches in the city. At a time when the roles and relevance of public monuments are being debated, Thomas is creating new monuments for our era.

Really a must-see train experience in a lifetime. In September 2019, the weather in Canada was very suitable. It was very wonderful to sit on the train and experience the feeling of the forest in the mountains. The train on the Vancouver train station held a grand farewell ceremony before departure by the train company. This made me feel a surprise. There were not only Chinese service staff on the train to introduce the scenery along the way, but also a food experience. Sitting on the train and watching the scenery of Rocky Mountain, eating Michelin meals, really can&#39;t be described in words. The fare is really not cheap, I was a little hesitant before booking, but I felt the value of the money after the experience. There is also a feeling that it will be boring on the train before leaving. I didn&#39;t expect that there were still a lot of activities. The photos couldn&#39;t stop at all, especially the glass dome was like watching the IMAX blockbuster. Soon a wonderful day passed. The Queen&#39;s favorite train really deserves its reputation and makes me and my wife feel very honorable. . .
