Starting from a historical tradition of painting itself, of geometry and of certain avant-garde movements, Imi Knoebel, since his beginnings at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, has placed himself within limits which constantly open up questions about the essence of art, aesthetics, form and colour, while always advancing towards the new. Now, with a coherent logic in relation to his previous works, he reveals yet another episode in a career decorated with milestones. Starting from basic yet very precise elements, sometimes repeated, sometimes discovered and explored by other artists, Knoebel reveals ongoing discoveries in which each question in his hands becomes an artefact to be examined for a new reading. Whether in terms of colour, form or position, Knoebel delves into art’s sensory dimension. Small variations over time, gestures of great aesthetic and spatial transcendence, become transformative revelations, giving individual elements or the union of several in constellations in a specific place or position an impact on the most basic aspects of our human condition.
