Die Galerie Christine Mayer zeigt neue Aquarelle und Zeichnungen von André Butzer sowie anlässlich von Various Others eine Auswahl aus dessen grafischen Werk von 2001 bis 2026 im Showroom – in Zusammenarbeit mit der Handsiebdruckerei Berlin, dem Harpune Verlag Wien und der Edition Linn Heidelberg.
In Butzers Werk sind Zeichnungen und Aquarelle mehr als nur vor- oder nachbereitende Notizen für seine Gemälde, sie sind gleichwertig. In der Komplexität des Ausdrucks zeigen sich Figuren, Farben und Formen, die grundlegenden Bild-Motive und Themen kehren wieder in exemplarischer Klarheit: „Allerdings darf man es nicht mit Absicht schief machen, aber man darf es auch nicht mit Absicht gerade machen.“
André Butzer (*1973) hat in den letzten 30 Jahren mit beachtlicher Meisterschaft ein außerordentlich universelles Œuvre ausgetragen. Seine Werke sind von Expressionismus und Pop Art originär durchdrungen, spenden oft Trost in fast hoffnungslosen Zeiten und betonen die Beständigkeit des Geistes angesichts unserer von allen Seiten bedrohten, menschlichen Existenz.
Ausgewählte öffentliche Sammlungen: Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg; LACMA, Los Angeles; MdbK, Leipzig; Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris; Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid; Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum, Bremen; Pinakothek der Moderne, München; Städel Museum, Frankfurt; Yuz Museum, Shanghai
Galerie Christine Mayer is presenting new watercolors and drawings by André Butzer, as well as a selection of his graphic works from 2001 to 2026 in the showroom as part of Various Others —in collaboration with Handsiebdruckerei Berlin, Harpune Verlag Vienna, and Edition Linn Heidelberg.
In Butzer’s work, drawings and watercolors are more than just preliminary or subsequent notes for his paintings; they are of equal standing. Within the complexity of his expression, figures, colors, and forms emerge, and fundamental pictorial motifs and themes recur with exemplary clarity: “However, one must not deliberately make it crooked, but one must also not deliberately make it straight.”
Over the past 30 years, André Butzer (*1973) has produced an extraordinarily universal oeuvre with remarkable mastery. His works are fundamentally influenced by Expressionism and Pop Art, often offering solace in almost hopeless times and emphasizing the resilience of the spirit in the face of our human existence, which is threatened from all sides.
Selected public collections: Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburg; LACMA, Los Angeles; MdbK, Leipzig; Musée d’Art Moderne, Paris; Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid; Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum, Bremen; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Städel Museum, Frankfurt; Yuz Museum, Shanghai
