With certificate signed by the artist // Köpfe (B-large) by Stephan Balkenhol, created in 2006, is a tapestry that combines figuration with abstract design to create a whimsical exploration of identity and connection. The artwork features a series of sketched faces in white thread, each distinct in expression and gaze, scattered across a warm brown background. Interwoven among the faces are colorful looping lines in green, yellow, and red, which meander across the tapestry, suggesting movement and interconnectedness. The simplicity of the sketched faces paired with the playful swirls of color evokes a sense of individuality within a shared space, reflecting Balkenhol’s focus on human character and interaction. This piece invites viewers to interpret the expressive yet minimalist portraits as reflections of human relationships and the invisible threads that bind us.

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.
