Huma Bhabha – Welcome…to the One Who Came

Here is a catalogue of Huma Bhaba’s layered and nuanced sculptures and drawings that centre on a reinvention of the figure and its expressive possibilities. Through her fusion of materials and influences, Bhaba’s work bridges the ancient and the futuristic, evoking both familiarity and otherworldliness. Her formally innovative practice pulls from a wide range of references, from those that span the history of art to quotidian influences such as science fiction and horror films and the makeshift structures and detritus of urban life. Instinctive and rigorous, her work brings diverse aesthetic, cultural, and psychological touchstones into contact with matters of surface, materiality, and formal construction.
