Biography
André Butzer (*1973 in Stuttgart) is one of the most influential contemporary artists in Germany. His works range between abstraction and figuration, developing a distinctive visual language characterized by expressive colors, strong contrasts, and iconic figures. He is especially known for his so-called 'Fantawelt,' a universe he created where art history, pop culture, and utopian visions merge. Characteristic of this world are his 'NASAHEIM' figures, distorted cartoon-like beings with oversized eyes and minimalist forms, reminiscent of comics and expressionism.
Butzer's Fantawelt reflects a mixture of consumer culture, German history, and utopian concepts – a place that oscillates between dream and nightmare. The color Fanta-orange plays a central role, symbolizing both childhood joy and artificial artificiality, underscoring Butzer's profound engagement with painting and society. His works are exhibited internationally and are part of renowned collections.
