Birdy 2020

Eckart Hahn's "Birdy" (2020) is a hyperrealistic portrait of a creature that appears to be a hybrid between a bird and a primate. The artist's meticulous detail is evident in the realistic depiction of the creature's feathers and fur, giving the impression of a photograph. The creature's intense gaze and unsettlingly human-like features create a sense of unease and intrigue, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of identity and the boundaries between animal and human. Hahn's artwork often explores themes of animalism, anthropomorphism, and the uncanny.
