Henne und Ei 2017

"Henne und Ei" (2017) by Eckart Hahn (b. 1971) is a still life painting that depicts a red rope and a yellow sphere on a crumpled white sheet against a black background. The painting's title, which translates to "Hen and Egg," alludes to the philosophical paradox of which came first. Hahn's meticulous realism creates a sense of tangible, almost sculptural, form, inviting viewers to ponder the relationship between the objects and their symbolic significance.
