Huma Bhabha: Distant Star

David Zwirner is pleased to present Distant Star, a solo exhibition of new work by Huma Bhabha (b. 1962) at the gallery’s Paris location in June 2025. Bhabha’s layered and nuanced sculptures and drawings center on a reinvention of the figure and its expressive possibilities. The exhibition will feature sculptures by the artist made from materials including cork and clay, which the artist then carves, molds, gouges, paints over, and otherwise marks up. Also on view will be an oxidized cast-iron sculpture, as well as a selection of works on paper and photographs that present new motifs and further the artist’s innovative formal approach to portraiture.

Distant Star will be the gallery’s third exhibition of Bhabha’s work since the announcement of her representation in 2022, and it follows her two concurrent solo shows held at the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street and 34 East 69th Street locations in New York in February and March 2024. This will be Bhabha’s first solo exhibition in Paris since 2009.
