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.
