André Butzer
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.
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.
