Eckart Hahn’s 2013 painting *Star* features a stark, almost theatrical composition of common objects. A birdhouse made of colorful materials is perched atop a large black trash bag, anchored by red ropes, and a small bird perches on a metal rod extending from the house, seemingly in dialogue with the viewer. The realistic details of the painting, and the contrasting colors, create a sense of both beauty and unease, suggesting a deeper meaning behind the seemingly ordinary.
