Stephan Balkhenhol

Stephan Balkenhol, a German artist born in 1957, has been producing polychrome wooden sculptures since the 1980s human or animal figures, sometimes hybrid, men and women of today in simple poses, standing statues or portrait busts. By choosing to carve wood like an artisan and to bring forth realistic-looking figures, Balkenhol breaks with a certain tradition of abstract and minimal contemporary sculpture, and takes up a place apart in the current art scene.
