Stephan Balkenhol – Köpfe (B), 2006 – Tapestry
Köpfe (B)
Köpfe (B) by Stephan Balkenhol, created in 2006, is a tapestry that presents a series of sketched faces in white thread on a rich brown background, each face distinct in expression and orientation. Interwoven among the faces are colorful, swirling lines in green, yellow, and red, which add a sense of playfulness and movement to the composition. The looping lines suggest the interconnectedness of the figures, as though they are engaged in silent conversation or share invisible bonds. Balkenhol’s minimalist approach to facial expressions and the flowing lines create an interplay between individuality and community, highlighting the nuanced connections within human relationships. This piece invites viewers to ponder the unseen links that connect us all.

What is figurative art?
Artwork by Alex Katz

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.
