Stephan Balkenhol in Sankt Elisabeth

Stephan Balkenhol in Kassel

In addition to existing works such as Sempre Più and the Large Head, Stephan Balkenhol is showing seven new large-format wooden reliefs for the nave, a female figure for the tower chapel and a male figure on a golden sphere for the open space high up in the bell tower at the invitation of the Diocese of Fulda and the Catholic Church in Kassel's St Elisabeth parish on Friedrichsplatz. The major summer event in Kassel, which transforms the city into a Mecca for the art world every five years, will be enriched by this exhibition with an additional attraction that will appeal to the public. At the same time, the artist is concerned with such tangible themes as pain, death and love, which are combined with subtlety and perception and are thus intended to establish the ancient connection between art and the Christian attributes of the cross and blessing.

Exhibition:
St Elisabeth, Kassel, Friedrichsplatz, 3/6 - 18/9/2012
