Stephan Balkenhol's Silent Wood Figures at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris
Stephan Balkenhol's painted wood sculptures, featuring human and animal figures with impassive expressions, are on view at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in Paris. The exhibition then travels to Le Rectangle in Lyon, followed by shows in New York and Hanover. Balkenhol's figures, though similar in style, are all distinct; their anonymous faces and telling postures create a silent world that evokes a strange sense of complicity in the viewer.
