Hamra Abbas has been exhibiting for a numbers of years in important international venues. The diversity of her work, both in terms of form and content, has itself become her hallmark. Clearly, she defies definition, and resists attempts to situate her work under any one label. There are several strands of thought that at times suffuse into a single work, and at other times curve away towards unexpected directions resulting in diverse projects. She is an artist of nomadic temperament, and her themes range from the poetic to the political to the absurd. In a way her works have an antinomian quality despite the meticulous attention to detail, whether it is sculpture, painting, or photography. This unique combination of rigor and fluidity of her practice stems from the artist’s ability to choose her medium in relation to her conceptual repetoire, a rare feat.
