Description

This is quite a different Balkenhol to the one once lambasted for complacency and absence of a critical standpoint. An artist taken to the stage here in Baden-Baden, assured in his handling of materials and aware of how to gauge them in the most minute detail. [.] The way in which a natural phenomenon and a modern, visual topos can overlap and perfect an illusionistic picture, which is realistic in neither element-well, that is artifice in the truest aesthetic sense of the word.
