Imi Knoebel
이미 크뇌벨
Information
Imi Knoebel is a German painter and sculptor known for his contributions to and shaping of 20th century Minimalist abstract art. Often working with large-scale modular shapes, Knoebel’s work is regarded as an ongoing, elliptical investigation into formalism and the medium of painting itself. Born in Dessau, Germany in 1930, he went on to study at the Darmstadt School of Arts and Crafts and then the famed Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he befriended Joseph Beuys and Blinky Palermo. Though his early work was often monochromatic, Knoebel became interested in the teachings of renowned colorist Johannes Itten, and much of his later work is characterized by its bright palette and strong color relationships. One of his best-known pieces, 24 Colors for Blinky (1977)—made in memoriam of his friend’s untimely death—consists of a irregularly shaped panels each painted in a specific, memorable hue, and is featured in the permanent collection of Dia:Beacon in upstate New York. Knoebel has been the subject of solo exhibitions at such institutions as the Haus der Kunst in Munich, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin. He lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany.
독일 추상화가인 이미 크뇌벨 은 캔버스가 아닌 알루미늄 위에 원색을 대담하게 사용하는 등 독특한 작품활동을 펼친 작가입니다.
작가는 캔버스를 여러 겹 겹쳐서 두껍게 만들거나 사각형 캔버스 가장자리나 중앙에 세로 가로 막대를 엇갈리게 하는 등 캔버스를 조각처럼 만들어 활용합니다
크뇌벨은 형태와 재료의 변화를 반복하며 전통 회화의 표현 방식에서 벗어나고자 하며 그의 작품은 구체적 형상이나 이미지 없이 작품 자체의 시각적 힘을 호소해 관람객에게 다양한 해석을 가능하게 합니다.
