Just beautiful. Eigner's work is breathtaking in its simplicity, exactness, calm and precision. Like the work of say, Miro, it is easy to admire whilst secretly thinking "I could do that!" but impossible to copy. This is a poetry of mastery, formed of care, tranquillity, joy and strangeness. Familiarise yourself with yourself; better yet, this.
