Wes Lang: Total Surrender
HENI is delighted to present Total Surrender, a new limited-edition silkscreen print by acclaimed American artist Wes Lang. The print reproduces his haunting and spiritually charged original acrylic on paper work.
The edition is a 3-colour silkscreen print on Somerset White cotton paper and is presented in a black hardwood frame. The work measures 92 x 138 cm (framed) and is priced at $2,500 (plus applicable taxes). The edition size is limited to 50 (+10 APs) and each work is hand-signed and numbered by the artist on the front.
Total Surrender is available by application until 17:00 BST on 11 August 2026.
About Total Surrender
Rendered in a bold graphic style and stark black-and-white contrast, the composition depicts a hooded skeleton riding a horse and emerging from a dense, gestural field of black marks. The result is a striking combination of precise draftsmanship and raw, expressive energy.
Total Surrender brings together some of Lang’s signature motifs, including the skeleton, the horse and his use of handwritten text. The inscription at the top of the work reflects Lang’s longstanding engagement with language and quotations in his work, a defining characteristic already evident in celebrated series such as his The Black Paintings.
Rooted in the spiritual philosophy of the Tao Te Ching, which informs Lang’s daily practice, the Total Surrender image and its inscription together invite viewers to surrender to the natural flow of existence. Beneath the work’s dark imagery lies a message of acceptance at the heart of Lang’s practice: a full embrace of life’s fleeting nature and a willingness to take a chance on oneself. The rider’s journey through a turbulent, shadow-like field thus becomes a meditation on mortality, hope and spiritual release.
About Wes Lang
American artist Wes Lang creates provoking artworks, primarily on canvas and paper and featuring a universe of striking characters, that intend to inspire and motivate. Populating his works with everything from skulls, grim reapers and country music icons to flora, birds and horses, Lang’s imagery has the capacity to reach a wide-ranging audience but is nonetheless deeply personal.
Lang’s work can be found in notable international collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Damien Hirst’s collection. He lives and works in Los Angeles.

As Total Surrender is a limited-edition release, HENI tries to ensure that the prints are sold broadly and fairly (rather than on a ‘first come, first served’ basis). You can apply for multiple artworks from Total Surrender, however, HENI cannot guarantee that you will be offered the opportunity to buy every print you apply for.
