He’s shaken up the art scene like no other in the last few years – Tim Bengel, a highly gifted young artist and social media star from Esslingen, near Stuttgart. Golden boy, Sandman, Wunderkind – the press has given Tim quite a few nicknames! On one point, however, everyone is agreed – that he is an exceptional talent of his generation, that the way he has staged and marketed his art has created something completely new. Through his social media channels, Tim Bengel makes his works and the process of how he produced them accessible to a wide range of people, and is celebrated worldwide for his pictures made of sand and gold.
We got the chance to see Tim and his new project, designing “Studio Berkheim”, and experience it up close. Armed with our Airless spray system, the ControlPro 350 Extra for larger spaces and a FinishControl 3500 for details, he turned a boring white hall in his atelier into a 360° art area. Walls, ceiling, floor, even the concrete stairs – it was all part of his idea for a creative transition area.
