“I find myself after the long end of Pop Art. The readymade is destroyed. Two-thousand years of painting history continues. The image of the woman endures.”
André Butzer, 2025
André Butzer, ‘Untitled’, 2023, acrylic on canvas, 294 × 202 cm; 115 3/4 × 79 1/2 in.
Butzer’s work draws on a broad art historical lineage that includes European modernism, expressionism, and postwar American art. His practice brings together the expressive legacy of painting with the conceptual seriality of postwar American art, reconciling the long-standing divide between expression and the ready-made. Through this approach, painting is treated as both a material and historical form that remains open to repetition, variation, and the singularity of the image.
The works on view include paintings featuring recurring motifs such as the female figure and fruit, alongside gestural lines and clearly defined color forms. These elements foreground the construction of the image and its relationship to historical models of painting, while maintaining a focus on immediacy and affect.
Born in Stuttgart in 1973, André Butzer lives and works in Berlin-Wannsee. His work has been widely exhibited internationally and is held in major public and private collections.
