Stephan Balkenhol is a German sculptor known for his work with sculptures and reliefs. His hallmark is roughly hewn and painted wooden sculptures. He depicts figures, animals and architecture, sometimes adopting a surrealistic styles. The human form is the centrepiece to his works, whereby he has created a basic reference type that he often manipulates. His figures showcase no emotion, rather staring blankly at an unknown point, appearing anonymous and enigmatic. To this day his largest sculpture, a male torso made of cedar wood, stands at a staggering six meters, has remained at Caesar Forum in Rome since 2009.
