André Butzer: Miettinen Collection [German]

Bys: Krüger, Steffen and Miettinen, Timo

Andr Butzer (b. Stuttgart, 1973; lives in Berlin) rose to renown with pictures he describes as " science fiction expressionism" and iconic characters like the " Peace Siemense," the " Men of Shame," or the " Woman" as well as seemingly abstract compositions. Artistic predecessors he admires and emulates include Walt Disney, Edvard Munch, Henri Matisse, Friedrich H lderlin, and Henry Ford. Butzer's utopian artistic vision is anchored in the fictional place " NASAHEIM", a kind of pilgrimage destination in outer space. Yet his paintings should not be mistaken for illustrations of narrative structures; they articulate something that could not be said before. Similes of a sort, they embody the forever recurring extremes of history as emblems of human existence.
