Stephan Balkenhol 1957 Fritzlar - lebt und arbeitet in Karlsruhe und MeisenthalOhne Titel (drei Männer). 1998.Plastik. Wawaholz, farbig gefasst. Figuren: jeweils ca. 42 cm (16,5 in). Mit Sockel: ca. 160 cm (62,9 in).[SM].PROVENIENZ: Privatsammlung Süddeutschland. Stephan Balkenhol studiert von 1976 bis 1982 an der Hamburger Hochschule für bildende Künste in der Bildhauerklasse des streng minimalistisch arbeitenden Künstlers Ulrich Rückriem. Nach zwei Stipendien erhält Balkenhol 1988/89 einen Lehrauftrag an der Hamburger Kunsthochschule. Im Anschluss lehrt er bis 1991 an der Frankfurter Städelschule. Ab 1992 ist die Staatliche Kunstakademie in Karlsruhe sein Wirkungsort. Die Suche der deutschen Künstler seit den 80er Jahren nach neuen Formulierungsmöglichkeiten und Sinngebungen alltäglichen Materials manifestiert sich deutlich auch im Werk von Balkenhol. Seit etwa 1982 bestimmen die unmittelbar aus dem Holzblock herausgeschlagene, meist überlebensgroße menschliche Figur und der Kopf sein Schaffen. Mit traditionellem Werkzeug bearbeitet Balkenhol das Holz, das er als lebendige Substanz empfindet. So bleiben Riefen, Schrunden, Splitter und Risse sichtbar und verweisen auf den bildhauerischen Arbeitsprozess.So unbewegt und alltäglich die Skulpturen Stephan Balkenhols auf den ersten Blick auch sein mögen, so sind sie doch nie ausdrucks- oder bedeutungslos. Untergründig schwingt bei ihnen stets ein Ausdruck von Ruhe und In-sich-gekehrt-Sein mit, ohne das definitive Emotionen an die Oberfläche treten. Gleichzeitig stehen sie ganz für sich und ihre reine Gegenständlichkeit, sie symbolisieren nichts, sie bilden keinen Typus und schon gar keine bestimmte Person ab. Sie sind Andeutungen der menschlichen Körperformen, stets roh und mit den Spuren des Gestaltungsprozesses belassen. Und gerade durch ihre Sprödigkeit und Zurückgenommenheit erzeugen sie eine erzählerische Spannung, spornen die Fantasie und das Beobachtungsvermögen des Betrachters an.In einer großen Einzelausstellung in den Deichtorhallen Hamburg von November 2008 bis Februar 2009 wurden Arbeiten ab 1982 gezeigt. Neben Skulpturen wurden auch plastische Bilder, Fotografien und Zeichnungen präsentiert. Stephan Balkenhol ist in Karlsruhe, Lothringen und Berlin tätig. ca. 17.30 h +/- 20 Min.ENGLISH VERSIONStephan Balkenhol 1957 Fritzlar - lebt und arbeitet in Karlsruhe und MeisenthalOhne Titel (drei Männer). 1998.Sculpture. Wawa wood, in colors. Figures: each ca. 42 cm (16,5 in). With base: ca. 160 cm (62,9 in).[SM].PROVENANCE: Schönewald Fine Arts, Düsseldorf. Stephan Balkenhol, born in 1957 in Fritzlar, Hessen, makes sculptures, which evoke archetypal behaviour patterns of human life and emotions. Balkenhol studied sculpture at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg under the strictly minimalist artist Ulrich Rückriem from 1976 to 1982. He was awarded two scholarships and then offered a teaching post at the Kunsthochschule Hamburg in 1988. In 1989 he went to Frankfurt to teach at the Städelschule until 1991. He has been teaching at the Staatliche Kunstakademie in Karlsruhe since 1992. Balkenhol`s work reflects the searching of German artists during the 1980s for new means of expression and interpretations of every-day objects. Typical are his larger-than-life human figures and heads carved directly out of wooden blocks, which he has been making since 1982. Balkenhol uses traditional tools for his woodwork and considers the wood itself a living matter. Grooves, fissures, splinter and cracks on his sculptures document the creative process. The figures, the head, the face - often accentuated by painted markings - are sketchy, sometimes almost portrait-like. There is always a certain `family likeness` paralleled with the necessary generalisation for a large form. The figures convey no subjective e
