Painted Wawa wood (tropical hardwood that grows in West and Central Africa) - - Please note that for delivery of this artwork inside the EU, there is an additional 19% VAT // Relief Mann by Stephan Balkenhol, created in 2010, is a sculptural relief carved from Wawa wood, a tropical hardwood sourced from West and Central Africa. The work features a stylized male portrait, rendered with a rough-hewn texture that highlights the artist’s hand in the carving process. The figure, wearing a blue shirt, is set against a gridded background, creating a sense of both structure and simplicity. Balkenhol’s approach merges traditional wood carving techniques with contemporary themes, exploring identity and human presence in his understated yet expressive style. The wood’s natural texture and the painting’s minimalistic color palette enhance the raw and tactile quality of the piece.

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.
