Tim Bengel: I Was Present
HG Contemporary is pleased to announce the latest solo exhibition by contemporary artist Tim Bengel entitled, 鈥淚 Was Present.鈥�
Tim Bengel is widely considered as one of the most important, influential and famous artists of his generation. Throughout his career, the 27 year old German artist has developed new apporoaches to the already exstisting and crossed the boundries between art and mass culture.
Yet despite these achievements, Bengel has never been the subject of a retrospective showing the full scope of his work. Containing more than a dozen objects dating from 2016 to the present, this exhibition will be the most versatile devoted to Bengel鈥榮 innovative and aesthetical pleasing oeuvre.
Bengel is widely known for his hyper-detailed gold-leaf embellished sand paintings as well as for his monumental public artwork 鈥楩lower Skull Cemetery鈥�. With over a quarter million social media followers, he chooses his themes carefully, wanting each 鈥渢o be a challenge鈥� and 鈥渘ot to be subordinated to anyone or any ideology.鈥� His focus is, therefore, to continue defining the unique qualities of his artistic expression while experimenting with new and bold methods. 鈥淢y conviction is that arts can neither be learned nor taught. The whole of the arts needs to be absolutely free.鈥�
