对胡玛•芭芭在雕塑，素描和摄影领域二十多年涉及多学科的多产成果的一次概述。

胡玛•芭芭（1962年生于卡拉奇）以用从泥土，砖块和木材到聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料，青铜，发现的物体和建筑材料等各种材料创作描绘人像的雕塑作品而闻名。这些作品揭示了她的无数影响，包括恐怖电影，科幻小说，古代文物，宗教遗物和新表现主义。这本精美的书概述了芭芭二十多年来的创新雕塑，以及她在素描，摄影和版画方面鲜为人知但必不可少的作品，同时探讨了她对人像的独特处理方式。带有插图的文章研究了这位艺术家的多产和多学科创作成果，她的历史和文化参考点以及她经常涉及的主题（例如战争，殖民主义，流离失所和对家的记忆），用这位艺术家自己的话来说，这些都是所有文化的“永恒关注点”。芭芭与美国艺术家斯特林•鲁比之间的对话为芭芭的观点和艺术实践提供了一个切入点。

A comprehensive overview of more than two decades of Huma Bhabha’s prolific and multidisciplinary output in sculpture, drawing, and photography

Huma Bhabha (b. 1962 in Karachi) is known for sculptures depicting the human figure fashioned from materials ranging from clay, brick, and wood to Styrofoam, bronze, found objects, and construction materials. Such works reveal her myriad influences, including horror films, science fiction, ancient artifacts, religious reliquaries, and Neo-Expressionism. This handsome volume surveys over two decades of Bhabha’s innovative sculptures, as well as her lesser-known but essential work in drawing, photography, and printmaking, all while considering her singular engagement with the human figure. Illustrated essays investigate the artist’s prolific and multidisciplinary output, her historical and cultural reference points, and her frequent themes, such as war, colonialism, displacement, and the memory of home—in the artist’s words, these are “eternal concerns” found across all cultures. A conversation between Bhabha and American artist Sterling Ruby offers an intimate point of entry into Bhabha’s perspectives and artistic practice.
