Samurai 2017

"Samurai" (2017) by Eckart Hahn (b. 1971) is a realistic painting of a rope knot, rendered in meticulous detail against a dark background. The complex arrangement of the rope suggests a sense of constraint and entrapment, evoking themes of captivity and the power of circumstance. The use of light and shadow accentuates the rope's texture and form, highlighting the intricacies of the knot. Hahn's work often explores the interplay of abstract forms and representational subjects, inviting viewers to contemplate the hidden meaning behind seemingly simple objects.
