Necklace 2019

"Necklace" is a 2019 painting by Eckart Hahn, a contemporary German artist known for his photorealistic depictions of animals. The artwork features a striking, close-up portrait of a gorilla, captured in profile against a vibrant red background. The gorilla is depicted with a yellow rope around its neck, which adds a layer of intrigue and potentially, a commentary on captivity or the human relationship with animals. Hahn's hyperrealistic style captures the gorilla's fur, skin texture, and the subtle nuances of its expression in exquisite detail.
