André Butzer, Untitled, 2011.
Butzer created his largest print project yet, in 2011. It comprehenses a series of 16 colorful screenprints. The prints can be hung individually or in groups. Each print is a variation of Butzer’s geometrical vocabulary. After years of working figuratively, with influences such as German Expressionism, Asger Jorn and also Albert Oehlen, Butzers new work focuses on geometrical shapes and lines which run like cables all across the surface, creating an abstract pattern, or, as Butzer has called his work, “Science-Fiction Expressionism”.
