Description
From his early works of “science-fiction expressionism” to his exploration of abstraction’s far limits in seemingly black paintings, André Butzer emerges as an ever-inventive colorist who finds a new beginning in each work. This edition presents the future and origins of his painting according to Butzer.
“Titian said painting is about flesh and water, and I say it is about flesh and lemonade.”
André Butzer was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1973. For more than 25 years he has painted his way through the extremes of the 20th century, exploring art, politics, and pop culture. Paintings for him are “localizations of the greatest despair and the greatest hope,” which is exactly why “they come closest to the very joy and aid we are in dire need of.” After spending several years in California, he now lives in the southwest of Berlin and is one of the most internationally recognized painters of his generation.
