Femme burlesque (Burlesque Woman) by Stephan Balkenhol, created in 2013, is a unique hand-carved wooden sculpture measuring 148.5 × 55 × 36.5 cm. Known for his figurative sculptures that retain the raw texture of wood, Balkenhol presents a nude female figure standing confidently atop a dark circular base. The rough-hewn surface contrasts with the figure’s poised stance and painted details—purple hair and pubic hair offer a touch of theatricality and individuality. With her raised arm and direct gaze, the subject challenges traditional representations of the nude, blending vulnerability with strength. Balkenhol’s work bridges classical sculpture with contemporary identity and form.
