Since the 1990s, Imi Knoebel has been working intensively with aluminum as an image carrier. He uses aluminum plates and profiles as autonomous painting surfaces layering them on top of each other to create relief-like works. The layering of individual elements has been one of Knoebel’s main techniques since the 1980s. 16 Farben auf Blanc de titane consists of colored aluminum strips arranged in a strict geometric pattern. The main color is titanium white, which is considered the noblest and most brilliant of all white shades.
The same group of works also includes: Venera (1996) and Lentoi (2004).
