Mobile II 2013

Eckart Hahn's "Mobile II" (2013) is a captivating still life that utilizes photorealistic techniques. The piece depicts a bare tree branch wrapped in gold foil, suspended in a minimalist setting against a textured grey background. The branch is adorned with black and red circles hanging from strings, reminiscent of a mobile. A woodpecker perches on the branch, seemingly interacting with the red circles, creating a sense of movement and tension within the static composition. Hahn's work often explores themes of nature, transformation, and the interplay between organic and man-made materials. This piece presents a compelling meditation on fragility and resilience, leaving the viewer to contemplate the cyclical nature of life.
