Chosen by mysticfishstick - Installation view of ‘They Live’ by Huma Bhabha at icaboston, 2019.  The number of artists we talk to who count Huma Bhabah as one of their foremost inspirations is testament to her far-reaching impact. Reflecting on his visit to her show at icaboston, Trey Adbela’s told us, “Huma Bhabha is an artist whose work can really make you stop dead in your tracks. Almost like encountering a monster in a horror movie, you can’t help being both thrilled and terrified.”  Our first collaboration with Huma launches tomorrow - avantarteinsiders to find out more!  Image courtesy of the artist.  #humabhabha
