André Butzer (born in 1973 in Stuttgart),[1] is a German painter.
Biography
[edit]Butzer was born in Stuttgart, West Germany and lives in Rangsdorf near Berlin. He makes semi-abstract paintings that feature cartoon-like characters and objects.[2] Butzer is interested in the comic genre, whose ambivalence comes on the one hand from a childlike inflation of effect and on the other hand from an artificial lifelessness, set beyond morality.[3][4] Butzer’s work has been called Science-Fiction-Expressionism,[5] he is influenced by James Ensor, Willem de Kooning, and Phillip Guston.[6] In 1997, he helped to found Akademie Isotrop in Hamburg.[7]
Butzer is represented by Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin, with whom he has exhibited with since 2003, and Nino Mier Gallery in Los Angeles.
