Features and remarks


"Face 5 Ed." - Acrylic painting on collaged plastic film by Imi Knoebel.

The painting was created in 2013 as part of a strictly limited edition - the individual design of each copy gives the work a unique character.

If you like, a large part of the work of Düsseldorf artist Knoebel can be interpreted as a homage to the founder of minimalism, Kazimir Severinovich Malevich. When the Beuys student discovered the radical nature of non-objective art for himself, his mission was to bring this experience to the world.

In the "Face" series, the conceptual idea of a human face evoked by the title is correspondingly disappointed: the crossed collaged, hand-painted strips of rectangular cut plastic film form a kind of frame, but the surface remains empty in the figurative sense. Only the delicate brushstroke can be discovered on the film.
