  • Nytimes.Com Huma Bhabha Takes an Ax to Her Exhibit at the Met Ted
    Loos, Ted, “Huma Bhabha Takes an Ax to Her Exhibit at the Met,” NYTimes.com, March 10, 2018 Huma Bhabha Takes an Ax to Her Exhibit at the Met By Ted Loos | March 10, 2018 POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — The sculptor Huma Bhabha, the next artist to be featured in the popu- lar roof-installation series at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, was working away in her studio here the other day. Unlike some of her famous forebears among Hudson River Valley artists, who were more likely to use a paintbrush, Ms. Bhabha was wielding an ax. It’s a big ax, the kind that could be used to stock a woodpile or scare teenagers in a horror movie. Most remarkably, Ms. Bhabha — whose show at the Met beginning next month is only the first in a spate of museum exhibitions in the offing — manages to use it in a way that is precise and surgical, yet still emphatic. The Pakistan-born 55-year-old was chop, chop, chopping on the bottom of a block of cork on the The Pakistani artist Huma Bhabha in her studio in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

(His studio is on the second floor, and they live on the third.) Cork is relatively unusual in the world of sculpture — and so are axes, for that matter — but it’s one of Ms. Bhabha’s go-to materials these days. “I like texture,” she said, with the ax resting on the floor behind her.

  • Huma Bhabha-Press Release-Final
    David Kordansky Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition of work by Huma Bhabha. Featuring new sculptures and drawings, the show opens on January 25 and will remain on view through March 14, 2020. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, January 25 from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm. Born in Karachi, Pakistan and based in Poughkeepsie, New York, Huma Bhabha has become increasingly recognized for the figurative and material vocabularies she has developed for over three decades. The humanoid subjects of her work bear the traces of numerous processes and traditions, embodying an otherworldly synthesis of the beauty, passion, and conflict that define our world. Bhabha evokes archaic and contemporary sources alike, so that cycles of time, of life and its inevitable decay, are concretized as physical forms. In any given sculpture or drawing, the grotesque biomorphic distortions that characterize recent science fiction and horror movies exist alongside painterly passages of great sensitivity and tenderness. Proceeding by way of intuition and trial and error, she imbues her figures in two and three dimensions alike with palpable emotional charge. The sculptures in this exhibition exemplify the range of Bhabha’s experimentation and have been constructed from cork, foam, metal, wood, and paint, among other materials, some of them found. In Ground (2019), the body of a standing figure, positioned against the wall like the kind of architectural relief one might find in an ancient temple, has been fashioned from carved cork; a shredded tire provides the circle that defines its face, lending it a haunting openness, and transforming an instance of evident physical entropy into a focal point for psychological empathy.

  • In 'They Live,' Huma Bhabha Channels a Tragi-Comic View Of
    SALO N 94 In 'They Live,' Huma Bhabha Channels A Tragi-Comic View Of The Grotesque March 22, 2019 Wandering among Huma Bhabha’s sculptures you might think, for a second, you’d been dropped among the monumental statues of Easter Island. But unlike the present-day Polynesian isle, it’s neither green nor tranquil. These gures seem to reect a post-apocalyptic world of urban decay, a world of aliens and monsters, comic books and high art, a land where maybe the natives have watched a few too many horror movies. Larger-than-life gures carved out of cork and Styrofoam are marked with acrylic paint. They are reminiscent of totems, Egyptian sarcophagi or perhaps Greek korai, made in an ancient time but defaced yesterday by those pesky neighborhood kids. Bronze figures look like they’ve been dropped from the hold of a spaceship. Large heads of clay, Huma Bhabha's "Four Nights of a Dreamer," wire and wood, sometimes charred, created in 2018.

In fact, the gures in Bhabha’s “They Live,” a survey of 20 years’ worth of the artist’s work on view beginning Saturday at the Institute of Contemporary Art, seem to be an amalgamation of all things and all times, one big heap of humankind (or alienkind) in all its pathos and glory. If there is such a thing as the collective unconscious, reecting ancestral memory and human experiences of both horror and humor, this would be the embodiment of it.

  • Huma Bhabha's Extraterrestrials Land in New York Frieze.Com, May 2018
    CLEARING Huma Bhabha’s Extraterrestrials Land In New York Frieze.com, May 2018 (by Shiv Kotecha) 1/3 Installed above the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s imported bedrooms, ceilings and tombs, above its vitrines and containers full of old porcelain, jewels and weaponry, above Athena Partheonos, Ugolino and his Sons and the Temple of Dendur, and above its archives, where 5,000 years of art and objects have been categorized by period and style and are preserved within the museum’s holdings, Pakistani-born Huma Bhabha has, for this year’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden Commission, staged ‘We Come in Peace’, an unsettling, post- apocalyptic confrontation between two extraterrestrial entities. These enormous bronze sculptures warp the public space they occupy and comment on the histories they stand upon, claiming the Met itself as their pedestal. The first of these is the titularWe Come in Peace (2018), a twelve-foot tall, weather-beaten golem. The figure is brooding, its brittle surface textured with gashes and scars. Its blue torso is marked with various asterisks, like ritualistic markings that shape and contour the creature’s multi-sexed frame. A yellow swath of paint stains one of its knees: does this idol kneel, as the draped, bowing figure across from it does? As the many eyes that surround its head – cocked, buggy or gouged out – survey New York City’s skyline, I want to ask, What does it want to see?

  • Huma Bhabha Press Release
    Huma Bhabha 24 November 2010 – 22 January 2011 Private View Tuesday 23 November 2010, 6 – 8pm. Stephen Friedman Gallery is delighted to present its first ever exhibition of work by Huma Bhabha. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the UK and follows her highly praised commission for this year’s Whitney Biennial in New York. Running concurrently with this exhibition in London are two further solo presentations in New York City; at Salon 94 and Peter Blum Gallery. These three exhibitions offer an unprecedented opportunity to explore the work of this compelling artist in depth. Huma Bhabha is a sculptor first and foremost. Her poetic assemblages are born out of tactile materials such as Styrofoam, air-dried clay, wire, cork and scraps of construction material. Often referred to as ‘post- apocalyptic’ in their aesthetic, these works combine figuration with abstract architectural elements and a sense of landscape. Informed by a vast array of cultural references, from the cinematography of 1979 sci-fi classic “Stalker” to the architecture of Cambodia’s ancient temples at Angkor Wat, Bhabha’s work transcends a singular time and place. Instead, these strands come together in a highly personal exploration of what the artist describes as the ‘eternal concerns’ found across all cultures: war, colonialism, displacement and memories of home. This exhibition debuts a new body of sculptural work, an installation and work on paper. The new figurative sculptures, shown in the front gallery space, are carved out of cork, and darkened in parts with black paint. They recall the stone sculptures of ancient civilisations: the Greek kouroi perhaps or the monumental representations of Egyptian pharaohs.
