Paper: 100.3 x 70.5 cm - Image: 86 x 59.5 cm Untitled (Etched Silence) (2007) by Stephan Balkenhol is a contemplative woodcut that distills the artist’s signature approach to figuration into a stark, linear profile. Rendered in black and white, the portrait shows a solitary male figure in profile, his features defined by sharp, etched lines that evoke the texture and manual labor of woodcutting. The figure’s expression is neutral, introspective, and still, framed by a dark background that intensifies the contrast and imbues the scene with a quiet psychological presence. Balkenhol, known for his sculpture and graphic work, often presents anonymous figures stripped of overt narrative, inviting reflection on identity and presence. In this woodcut, the sense of silence is palpable—not only in the subject’s pose but in the austere medium itself. The work is part of an edition of 48, with additional artist’s and hors commerce copies.
