Hand-painted bronze. Base - 29 x 29 cm Height - 68 cm. Fussballliebe by Stephan Balkenhol is a 2024 hand-painted bronze sculpture that combines the artist’s understated figurative style with the universal appeal of football. Standing confidently with one foot resting on a football, the young player is dressed in a simple white jersey, black shorts, and knee-high socks. Balkenhol’s deliberately restrained expression and subtly textured surfaces emphasize the individuality of the figure while avoiding overt narrative or heroism. Known for his life-sized carved wooden figures, the artist applies the same quiet human presence to bronze, inviting viewers to reflect on everyday identity and shared cultural experiences. Issued in an edition of 40, Fussballliebe celebrates the enduring connection between sport, youth, and collective memory through Balkenhol’s distinctive contemporary sculptural language.
