Huma Bhabha 胡瑪 · 芭芭 | Constantium 持續
2014
Huma Bhabha's "Constantium" is a cast bronze sculpture enhanced with paint that exemplifies her distinctive approach to figuration through fragmentation and abstraction. The work combines the permanence of bronze casting with the gestural quality of painted surfaces, creating a tension between form and surface treatment that characterizes her practice. Bhabha's sculptures often evoke the human figure while remaining deliberately ambiguous and non representational, inviting viewers to engage with material presence and sculptural weight rather than narrative content.
