Imi Knoebel

Anima Mundi 54-5 Ed. II

2012

A vibrant arrangement of bold geometric forms, this five-part work sees Knoebel layering acrylic color across translucent plastic film, allowing light to interact with and animate the surface. The composition reflects the artist's longstanding exploration of pure abstraction, using elemental shapes and saturated hues to evoke a sense of universal energy suggested by the title, *Anima Mundi*, or "soul of the world." The multi-panel structure invites the viewer to consider each section both independently and as part of a dynamic, unified whole.
