Two-tone woodcut on Sommerset laid paper (newspaper gray). Image size: 34.5x32cm Sheet size: 75 x 57 cm. Signed in pencil lower right: Balkenhol. Teddy by Stephan Balkenhol is a 2004 woodcut print that depicts a solitary teddy bear rendered in bold black lines on a light background. Known for his exploration of the human figure and everyday subjects, Balkenhol here shifts his focus to a childhood icon. The bear, positioned on what appears to be a textured wooden surface, combines innocence with a slightly unsettling stiffness, typical of the artist’s approach to figuration. The stark contrast of black ink against the neutral paper accentuates the woodcut technique’s rawness, linking the subject to both nostalgia and a minimalist aesthetic. The print is hand-signed, adding a personal touch to its crafted simplicity.

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.
