Hank Willis Thomas is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist who focuses on themes of identity, the media, and popular culture. Thomas’s site-specific neon sculpture Love Rules, here in the main lobby, welcomes visitors to the Museum. The artist explains the work’s personal meaning: "I grew up in a family where love overruled. My cousin, Songha Willis, was murdered in Philadelphia in 2000. A month after he died, I found a recording of the incident, and his last words were “love over rules.”⠀⠀

#Repost @hankwillisthomas ・・・ @hankwillisthomas, “Guernica”, 2016 🔥 “It is so amazing to finally have this work up in a museum! Thank you @bocamuseum. Among other things, this work is a comment on sports as a proxy for war. Behind the colorful representation of #picasso #guernica masterpiece, remains the horror and violence of bombing and gassing. The yellow figure on the left holds her dying baby. Others are dismembered, some are crying out in pain. Desperate animals run wild. Some people pray for help. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Things haven’t changed as much as we need it to.” . . #supportblackart #hankwillisthomas #guernica #proxy #sports #war #jerseys #nba #blackart #blackexcellence #blkcreatives #bocamuseum #artsy #artgram #blackmancan #artlovers #artislife #masterpiece #change #artofvisuals (at Boca Raton Museum of Art)
