Aurora Borealis Movie Moving Sand Art- By Klaus Bosch

The KB Collection Aurora Borealis Movie is our wall-mountable moving sand art enhanced with the extra dimension of a background image. This is a top seller in this series. The frame is lacquered to appear ombre faded, paired with a breathtaking background image of the Aurora Borealis, captured by Barne Riesto, a prized Norwegian Photographer. You will be dreaming of the calming skies on a long winter’s night.  The Sand blend is a striking combination of turquoise, ash, white and blue tones. Hang the moving sand art on your wall (all hardware included), and much like a motion picture, watch it create a new scene with every turn.

    Due to the handcrafted nature of each item, each piece bears its own unique qualities.

    How it works:

    The KB Collection moving sand art is interactive, ever-changing, mesmerizing, and versatile handcrafted art pieces. Turn the sand picture over to watch the battle of the elements: The sand just wants to settle at the bottom, the air just wants to escape to the top, the water hosts the party. The result is the sand trickles between the air bubbles to create fascinating stratifications in the sand mountains.

    Mount the moving sand art to the wall using the provided wall mount and screws, then slide the rotating bracket on the back of sand picture into the mount. This allows for the sand picture to hang like a picture and be displayed both horizontally and vertically. More air creates a slower flow of sand resulting in a delicate trickle of sand making more dramatic peaks and valleys. Less air creates a faster flow of sand making dune shapes. Best of all, these handcrafted art pieces are equipped with an air hole to last for years on end, allowing for you to regulate the amount of air in each sand picture so you can make the sand fall as fast or as slow as you want.

    Contents Include: Sand picture with attached rotating bracket, wall mount with screws and drywall anchors, blunt injector, air scale, Instruction manual, endless hours of peace, and serenity! (Blunt injector intended for adult use only)

    Meet The Sandman

    Klaus Bosch (aka The Sandman) has been making his interactive KB Collection Sand Art in Lustenau, Austria since 1988. When Sandman was a younger man searching for his way in life, a friend of his gave him one of the original versions of sand art available in the '80s. He was captivated as his mind tried to wrap around the beauty of the art and why it did what it did. Fascinated, he decided to try to make one for himself. trial after trial, failure after failure, he finally created a sand picture he could sell in 1988. Yes, 6 years of experimentation finally resulted in what you see today as the KB Collection sand art. Klaus is always thinking of ways to defy gravity with his sand art.  

    The original, classic sandblend is what you see in the Deep Sea Pacific and a few others models. 

    Sandman's sand art has been in the display windows (worldwide) of Louis Vuitton and Nordstroms.  He has been commissioned to make special gifts for Kings, Sultans, and famous dignitaries. His art can be found in hotels, spas and businesses around the globe. 

    From Sandman:  "My sand art is spiritual, it contains a lot of questions and indicates answers at the same time.  It involves the beauty of what art once was while trying to give answers to our spirit and our inner calm."

    "Don't try to understand my art with your mind. Feel it with your hear and use your imagination."

      Beautiful Once It's Set Up

      Sand art needs a small amount of air in the frame. The bubbles make "gates" that allow the sand to flow through in different places each time. Our frame arrived with no air in it at all, and we were disappointed that all it would produce was a flat "plain" of layered colors. But ONCE WE READ THE DIRECTIONS, everything became clear. We injected the correct amount of air with the included syringe and measuring tool, and immediately our artwork began making beautiful pictures. Mounting was easy, and the included mount allows you to rotate the frame without removing it from the wall. These art pieces are more expensive than some you will find on Amazon, but they are extremely well made and the different sands and glitters produce lovely landscapes. I prefer frames that have a background. They showcase the sand much better than does a beige wall, as you'd see with a fully transparent frame. It would be fun if they'd make some with backgrounds that could be swapped out.

      Blue planet sand art is gorgeous!

      I bought this as a Christmas gift for my adult daughter and loved it so much, I waited until the last minute to wrap it. It’s beautiful, unique and mesmerizing. My daughter loved it as well. Additionally, I ordered the first one from amazon and it arrived in a plastic bag, completely destroyed. I contacted the store directly about purchasing another, and they were extremely fast with a response, and made sure the next one arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend this company and the product is beautiful!

      I have the "Aroura" sand painting, which I thought was amazing. This "Harvest Moon" outclasses it by far. It is absolutely magnificent.

      Uniquely Sensational Art

      Very pleased with this dynamic work of art. The Harvest Moon sets the scene and the golden glitter in the sand makes it absolutely magical. Was a little surprised that it does not hang on the wall flush but is a little lopsided on the wall mount that allow rotation of the piece for ever-changing sand patterns. That being said, we are very pleased with the piece overall and feel it is a lovely addition to our living room.
