Overview
Stephan Balkenhol
Weltbekannt und unverwechselbar sind Stephan Balkenhols grob geschnitzte und farbig gefasste Holzfiguren. Im Zentrum seiner Motivwelt steht der Mensch, aber auch Tiere und phantasievolle Hybrid-wesen. Immer wieder variiert der Künstler Männer und Frauen, zeigt sie häufig in neutraler Kleidung und ruhiger Gestik, manchmal aber auch ausgefallen inszeniert und mit unerwarteten Attributen ausgestattet. Obwohl keine Figur der anderen gleicht, erscheinen ihre Gesichter in ihrem Ausdruck rätselhaft typisiert, über dem Individuellen stehend, bewegt und still zugleich. Dieser Ausdruck steht in einem gewissen Widerspruch zu der von Splittern, Kerben und Fugen übersäten Ober­fläche, die von einem expressio-nistischen Schaffensprozess zeugt. Und gerade dies verleiht den Skulpturen und Reliefs ihre Faszination und Unverwechselbarkeit.
