dove 2017

"Dove" (2017) by Eckart Hahn (b. 1971) is a striking still life painting that depicts a white dove perched on a tangled web of red ropes against a black background. The contrasting colors and textures of the dove’s feathers and the thick ropes create a sense of both beauty and tension. The intricate knot at the center of the composition adds to the sense of complexity and intrigue. This artwork is a testament to Hahn’s skill in capturing the essence of everyday objects in a way that is both realistic and symbolic.
