Stefan Rinck

He finds his sources of inspiration in various epochs in particular the French Romanesque period as well as popular culture such as video games and comics.

[4][5] Rinck's stone figures build a community of characters, animals, monsters and hybrid creatures endowed with symbols and cultural attributes.

The art theorist Bazon Brock states, Rinck adopts the figurative forms of expression of culturally collective fantasies remaining his independent language.

The documentary Heart of Stone by Sonja Baeger which pictures the production of Rinck's three monumental-in-size sculptures was premiered in 2021 in Berlin.

[11] Another monumental limestone sculptures were realized at Vent des Fôret (One of those who were too long in the woods, 2010)[12] and La Forêt d’Art Contemporain (Saint Georges et son dragon de compagnie, 2020)[13] in France.
