"In my relief sculptures, I’m interested in exploring the relationship between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional. How can a flat surface be transformed into something that suggests depth and volume?" – Stephan Balkenhol
Relief Temple explores the contrast between the sculptural depth of carved wood and the flatness of the relief format, infusing the work with a sense of tension and dynamism. Showcasing a refined command of form and color within a confined space, it offers Balkenhol’s distinctive perspective on the world around him.
