Hank Willis Thomas: Kinship of the Soul

Pace is pleased to present Kinship of the Soul, Hank Willis Thomas’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and his first at Pace in London. The presentation showcases a new body of retroreflective collages that continue Thomas’s exploration of the histories of abstraction through the lenses of colonization, globalization, and appropriation, with reference to Romare Bearden, Aaron Douglas, and Henri Matisse. These works, which reveal latent images depending on their lighting and the viewer’s perspective, underscore Thomas’s interest in using wayfinding materials to illuminate often overlooked histories and narratives.
