tephen W. Hawking in Indien, was created in 1990 and printed as a multicolour offset lithograph on cardboard. The composition is rich in dynamic linework and pointillist patterns, suggestive of cosmic networks and abstracted particle trajectories—visually echoing the theoretical realms of Hawking's physics while also referencing the spiritual and geometric symbology associated with India. Herbert Egl (b. 1951) is a German contemporary artist known for his vibrant, often map-like abstractions. He is associated with the Neue Wilde movement and shares visual affinities with artists such as Sigmar Polke, Albert Oehlen, A. R. Penck, and Jörg Immendorff, as well as American abstractionists like Cy Twombly and Jackson Pollock. In this work, his intricate networks of dots, lines, and cellular forms also recall the scientific-visual vocabulary seen in the works of artists like Matthew Ritchie and Fred Tomaselli. The lithograph blends the worlds of science and art with poetic sensitivity, making it both a visual and intellectual homage. Its title directly references Stephen W. Hawking and a symbolic encounter with India, evoking themes of knowledge, metaphysics, and interconnected systems. The work stands out not only for its conceptual depth but also for its elegant execution and strong compositional rhythm. hand-signed and numbered in pencil.
