Galerie Christine Mayer presents recent watercolors and hand drawings by André Butzer, as well as a selection of his prints from 2001 to 2026 in the gallery’s showroom—a collaboration with Handsiebdruckerei Berlin, Harpune Verlag Vienna and Edition Linn Heidelberg, on the occasion of Various Others. From the very beginning, works on paper have been an integral part of Butzer’s work. Everything is there and in the simplicity of expression, figures, colors and forms, the fundamental motifs and themes reveal themselves with rare clarity: “You shouldn’t, however, make it crooked on purpose, but you shouldn’t make it straight on purpose, either.”
André Butzer (*1973) has created an exceptional oeuvre over the past 30 years with unparalleled mastery. Jauntily merging expressionism and pop, his works offer solace in almost hopeless times and insist on human endurance in face of our frail existence.
