BEG56 (also stylized as beg56) is the pseudonym of the German visual artist Bernd Erich Gall (born August 2, 1956, in Birkenfeld, Germany).[1][2][3][4] [5] [6]

Concept and style

[edit]

BEG56 works with audiovisual projects where music and fine arts directly influence each other. The music ranges from indie singer-songwriter arrangements to art rock with atmospheric soundscapes.[4] [7] [5]


Visual arts background

[edit]

While BEG56 represents his musical identity, Gall is recognized in Germany as a painter, sculptor, and conceptual artist.[2] He studied at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology from 1976 to 1983 and is a long-standing member of the German Association of Visual Artists (BBK).[2] Gall lives and works in Karlsruhe.
