Wawaholz, painted. Literature: Matthias Winzen (ed.), "Stephan Balkenhol", exhibition catalogue, Cologne 2006, pp. 50/51Galerie Löhrl (ed.), "Stephan Balkenhol. Heads", exh. cat., Mönchengladbach 1991, cat. no. 17. // This companion "Kleine Kopfsäule" by Stephan Balkenhol features a carved female head with a distinctive black bob hairstyle mounted on a cylindrical wooden column painted in pale green-gray tones. The simplified yet recognizable facial features and deliberately rough-hewn surface reflect Balkenhol's signature approach to contemporary figuration. Working within the tradition of German wood carving, the artist creates an intimate dialogue between the viewer and the quietly observed figure, whose neutral expression invites contemplation rather than narrative interpretation within the broader context of his Kopfsäulen series.

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
