Aprašymas
The first comprehensive study of Huma Bhabha, the acclaimed Pakistan-born, New York-based artist whose haunting sculptures, drawings, and installations reimagine the human figure for an age of ruin, myth, and transformation Created in close collaboration with the artist, Huma Bhabha offers an expansive and richly illustrated account of one of the most distinctive sculptural practices of our time. Known for her powerful hybrid figures – at once ancient and futuristic, fragile and monumental – Bhabha transforms humble materials such as cork, Styrofoam, clay, wire, and found objects into charged presences that seem to emerge from archaeology, science fiction, war zones, and dreams. Bhabha’s work confronts the viewer with bodies that are fractured, mask-like, and intensely alive. Drawing on sources ranging from classical sculpture and African and South Asian traditions to horror films, post-apocalyptic imagery, and the history of modernism, her practice resists easy categorization. Her figures appear as survivors, sentinels, deities, monsters, or witnesses – beings that speak to displacement, violence, mortality, and the enduring vulnerability of the human condition. Featuring major sculptures, drawings, installations, and outdoor commissions, this volume situates Bhabha’s work within contemporary art discourse for the first time in depth. With texts by leading writers and curators, alongside striking photography and extensive visual documentation, the book presents a compelling portrait of an artist whose radical material language has reshaped the possibilities of figurative sculpture.
