German artist André Butzer merges expressionism and pop culture into a universe both childlike and apocalyptic.
His iconic figures — wide-eyed, electric, almost deranged — are portals into a world where Disney collides with dystopia.With thick, textured brushwork and a palette oscillating between pure black and violent color, Butzer explores the contradictions of innocence, violence, utopia and despair.Whether through his “Science-Fiction Expressionism” or the obsessive presence of his signature figures, Butzer challenges the viewer’s comfort zone — insisting that painting remains a radical act.Collected by top institutions and influential patrons worldwide, his works are deeply symbolic assets for any bold collection.
