Butzer, André | Untitled 1–3 (Suite of 3), 2021 — available on Composition Gallery

Three, two-color screen prints on handmade Hahnemühle paper (300 g/m²). Each hand signed, numbered and dated in pencil.

Untitled 1–3 (2021) by André Butzer is a suite of three screenprints that encapsulates his vibrant, gestural approach to figuration. Each print features bold, cartoon-like characters rendered in two-color palettes against striking backgrounds—orange, pink, and yellow. Butzer’s simplified forms and expressive outlines evoke childlike spontaneity, but with unsettling undertones, particularly in the skeletal figure of the third work. Printed on handmade Hahnemühle paper, these compositions merge Pop sensibilities with raw emotion. The edition is limited to 75, emphasizing the work’s blend of accessibility and rarity.

André Butzer (German, 1973) blends Expressionism with Pop Art, creating vivid, often chaotic compositions. His work features recurring characters and symbolic color use, particularly his striking “NASAheim” series. Butzer’s distinctive style bridges cartoonish figuration with deep emotional intensity, making his paintings and prints both visually bold and conceptually rich.

This method, also known as serigraphy or silkscreen printing, is commonly used to produce prints on posters, T-shirts, vinyl, stickers, wood, and other materials. The process is a type of stencil printing, allowing for vibrant, detailed designs on various surfaces.

André Butzer (b. 1973 Germany) is a German painter whose work fuses expressive figuration with vivid abstraction. His practice combines influences from Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, and German Expressionism, producing canvases filled with bold colors, cartoon-like figures, and intense brushwork. Butzer often draws upon both art history and popular culture, reflecting on themes of utopia, destruction, and identity. His recurring character "Friedens-Siemens" and stark color fields suggest a world caught between extremes—violence and harmony, capitalism and imagination. Over the years, his style has evolved from chaotic, energetic compositions to more minimal, contemplative works, though a strong emotional undercurrent remains constant. Butzer’s approach positions him as a singular voice in contemporary painting, bridging historical reference with personal mythology.

What is abstract expressionism?

Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
