Huma Bhabha

22 Nov 2016-28 Jan 2017

Stephen Friedman Gallery
London W1S 3LQ

Overview

The Pakistan born, US-based artist presents an ambitious new body of work. The show includes three new carved cork sculptures, large-scale drawings with collage on photographs and a new clay and mixed media sculpture. The work continues Bhabha's investigation into figuration, drawing inspiration from a wide spectrum of references that cross genres, time, art history, continents and popular culture. From Ancient Gandharan ruins to the instant contemporary ruins of stressed, urban infrastructure, time becomes another malleable material in Bhabha's toolbox.
