Working from home day 8794… This remarkably relatable painting by Eckart Hahn is typical of the German artist’s self-termed brand of “broken realism”. Hahn’s world is punctuated by mysterious figures and unsettling details—such as this eerie diner, eating from his own face-cum-bowl. The artist uses a realist style of painting to lull his viewers into a false sense of familiarity when first confronted with his work, before a closer look reveals his surrealist-inspired subversions.
