"Stephan Balkenhol"
2001-01-15 until 2001-04-15
Centro Galego de Arte Contemporánea
Santiago, ,
ES Spain
His first retrospective show held in Spain includes a selection of works
produced by Stephan Balkenhol (Fritzlar, Germany, 1957) since the early
eighties. At that time he was completing his studies with teachers as Ulrich
Rueckriem, while he began to explore the potential of wood as a material for
sculpture, and the ways of turning figurative representation into an innovative
expression ground.
His figures – men, women, dogs, lions, penguins, etc –
open an on-going dialogue with their surroundings, wich are turned into an
object of analysis, leading him to declare: Those figures interest me only
when they involve their surrondings.
