Wawaholz, painted. literature: Galerie Löhrl (ed.), "Stephan Balkenhol. Heads", exh. cat., Mönchengladbach 1991, cat. no. 18. // Stephan Balkenhol's "Kleine Kopfsäule" exemplifies his distinctive approach to figurative sculpture, presenting a carved male head atop a slender cylindrical column in painted Wawa wood. The naturalistic flesh tones and brown hair of the head contrast with the muted green-gray of the supporting column, creating a tension between human presence and architectural form. Balkenhol's deliberate retention of tool marks and understated expressions reflects his commitment to a quiet, unpretentious figuration that resists the dominance of abstraction in postwar German sculpture.

What is contemporary art?
Contemporary art refers to avant-garde or innovative art created in the recent past or present day. The exact starting point of contemporary art varies depending on the institution, often tied to the founding year of museums or galleries that showcase the style. Contemporary art is characterized by its focus on current ideas, diverse media, and the exploration of new concepts and techniques.
