• Stephan Balkenhol is considered a protagonist in the revival of figurative sculpture in Germany.
• The human being, whom the artist depicted not as an individual, but as an anonymous, average and yet familiar-looking person, is at the center of his artistic work.
• The heaviness and solidity of the material makes for a contrast to the natural and casual presence of the depiction.
• In the exhibition "Zeitfenster. Stephan Balkenhol trifft Alte Meister" (Nov. 10, 2023-June 2, 2024) at the Museum Wiesbaden, the artist's works are juxtaposed with sculptures by Old Masters.

Accompanied by a confirmation of authenticity issued by the artist (in copy).
