Huma Bhabha captivates audiences at the Barbican with her striking sculpture, Mask of Dimitrios, which uses unconventional materials to depict human incompleteness. Set against the haunting backdrop of Giacometti's masterpieces, her work resonates with themes of existential struggle and the unfinished states of existence. While Giacometti's pieces evoke post-war sentimentality and ritualistic seriousness, Bhabha's raw forms present a fresh, troubling perspective on modern humanity, reminding us of the complexities of the human condition in today's world.
Huma Bhabha takes the Barbican's new gallery by storm with her sculpture that embodies the incomplete and unfinished nature of humanity, much like Alberto Giacometti's work.
Bhabha's artistryâreflected in pieces like Mask of Dimitriosâtransforms everyday materials into troubling yet universal representations of the human condition, resonating with Giacometti's vision.
