Eckart Hahn: Papiertiger

In the organizer's words:

The style of painter Eckart Hahn (*1971) can best be described as "broken realism". Full of humor and color, he brings to light the abysses of the human psyche, the flaws and cracks in the world. However, his gaze is also directed towards a possible arrangement with the paradoxical. His often stage-like sceneries prepare the ground for transformations. Whether gorilla, elephant, cat, bird, wolf or tiger - animals sometimes play the most important role in Eckart Hahn's pictorial worlds.
The exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Villa Zanders is dedicated for the first time to Eckart Hahn's paintings from the 2000s to the present day, which explicitly deal with the material paper. Paper is shown in acrylic on canvas in its many forms, whether torn, folded, wrapped, in the form of a book, wallpaper, house of cards, cardboard stand-up, origami or décollage. In this way, the museum's collection focus is viewed from a completely new angle.
