Stephan Balkenhol is an artist who is well-known for his hand-carved human figures. These tall and anonymous sculptures are usually carved from a single block of material. The people they represent often wear simple clothes, and express a quiet confidence in their posture, with their hands in their pockets or making simple gestures. Balkenhol has won several prestigious public commissions, and his work appears in front of London’s Blackfriars Bridge, and at the entrance to Hamburg Zoo. Balkenhol is originally from Germany. He developed his artistic focus on human figures when studying at the Hamburg School of fine Arts, where he made large wooden sculptures of naked men and women. He also produces animals and hybrid creatures, and works in drawing and photography alongside his sculpture.
