M Leuven, Belgium
June 2023
June 10–October 29, 2023 Huma Bhabha's practice consists of sculpture, photography and drawings with ink, pastel and collage. Bhabha is known for her distinct visual language, which focuses on the human figure in all its expressive potential. She draws inspiration from ancient sculpture, modernism and contemporary popular imagery. Bhabha's monumental sculptures in striking material combinations hover between the recognisable, human or animal and the otherworldly. In powerful and sometimes unsettling works, she explores themes such as colonialism, war, displacement and memories of place.
M shows a selection from her oeuvre, including her well-known androgynous totem figures and monumental drawings. The works are presented in a custom-made installation by M. The exhibition is a collaboration with MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain, where Bhabha's work will be on display from November 2023.
