Yi Ying 2019

"Yi Ying" (2019) by Eckart Hahn (b. 1971) is a vibrant and intricate collage of various bird species, each rendered in a realistic style with meticulous detail. The work showcases Hahn's signature style of incorporating found paper materials into his artistic practice, creating a sense of layered complexity and a nod to the history of collage art. The vibrant colors and contrasting textures create a captivating visual experience, inviting viewers to explore the intricate details of each bird and their fragmented composition. The fragmented nature of the birds suggests a theme of disconnection or the idea of individual pieces coming together to form a larger whole.
