Huma Bhabha: Before the End

Huma Bhabha unveils a series of four new painted and patinated bronzes set against the verdant backdrop of Brooklyn Bridge Park. Bhabha creates objects, drawings, and sculptural works that depict the strangeness and vulnerability of the contemporary figure. Her hybridized forms, which borrow from ancient and modern cultural sources alike, exude emotion and humor. Posing questions about the alien qualities of beings and how life forms are considered monstrous, Bhabha’s work probes the intersections of science fiction, horror, abstraction, and archaic expression.

Drawing from both natural and manmade materials, Bhabha’s outdoor public installations serve as large-scale contemplations on nature, war, and civilizations across time. At once monumental, grotesque, and humorous, these sculptures presented with Public Art Fund will continue her engagement with the human figure.

Huma Bhabha’s exhibition is curated by Public Art Fund Artistic & Executive Director Nicholas Baume with support from Public Art Fund Assistant Curator Jenée-Daria Strand.
