Wes Lang: Thank You God
HENI is delighted to present Thank You God by acclaimed American artist Wes Lang, a series of 10 limited-edition prints based on original artworks from Lang’s series of the same name. The series develops the contemplative style of Lang's works on paper through a reinterpretation of one of the artist’s recurring motifs: the bird.
The Thank You God editions are Giclée prints on paper, presented in an oak frame with UV-protected acrylic glass. Each work measures 81.4 x 104 cm (framed) and is from an edition of 35 + 6 APs. The prints are hand-signed and numbered on the front by the artist.
The Thank You God editions are available by application until midday GMT on 30 October.
About Thank You God
Lang makes birds – what he has described as guides to happiness – the centre of Thank You God, capturing a variety of species in different stages of movement and flight. His depictions of birds coincide with internal reflections and his embrace of spirituality as he was preparing for a new child. Lang’s use of birds to explore this period of preparation gained new resonance when, in the midst of making the Thank You God works, a bird’s nest was built outside a window of his home. Lang describes watching the mother bird plan for and raise her own children as a powerful source of inspiration.
The works in Thank You God, produced in 2025, are populated by various types of birds, skulls and flowers as well as cursive text. Lang has long depicted birds, using it as symbols for positivity, hope and people in his life. The motif is drawn from memories of his grandmother who loved birds and particularly bluebirds, which became a major subject in his work after she died. In these new works he returns to birds as a symbol for somebody who hasn’t been born yet – his newest child, who was born two days after the original series was completed. Reflecting on the process of making Thank You God, Lang says, ‘These [works] helped me navigate the anticipation, joy, fear and all the other feelings that go along with a new child coming.’
