Alb 2012

"Alb" is a 2012 painting by German artist Eckart Hahn. It is a contemporary still life featuring a white horse partially obscured by black drapes, a monkey, and a composition of crumpled plastic sheeting in various colors. Hahn's work is known for its hyperrealism, and this painting exemplifies that style with its meticulous attention to detail and the way it draws the viewer's eye into the folds and textures of the objects. The plastic sheeting evokes themes of consumerism and the artificiality of modern life, while the monkey and horse symbolize nature and the animal world. This combination of elements creates a sense of mystery and intrigue in this visually captivating piece.
