Goetterfunken 2020

"Goetterfunken" (2020) by Eckart Hahn (b. 1971) depicts a gorilla bound by a web of red ropes against a dark background. The gorilla's powerful physique is rendered in meticulous detail, contrasting with the delicate yellow bird perched on a rope. The artwork's use of realism and symbolism evokes themes of captivity, power, and the fragility of life.
