André Butzer

André Butzer was born in Stuttgart and currently lives and works in Altadena, CA. André Butzer explores the limits and possibilities of the medium painting. Composed of a personal vocabulary of repetitive forms and elements, he constructs an exaggerated reality expressed through vivid colouring and explores the possibilities and limits of painting.

His works are in important public collections, including the Musée d’art contemporain, Nîmes; Kunstmuseum Stuttgart; Kupferstichkabinett/State Museums of Berlin; LACMA; MOCA; Phoenix Art Museum; Scharpff Collection, Stuttgart/Bonn; and the University of Chicago.
