André Butzer nennt seine Kunst selbst „Science-Fiction Expressionismus“. In großformatigen Gemälden zitiert er Elemente des Comics, der Popkultur, vermischt triviale mit historischen Referenzen und wechselt fließend zwischen figürlichen Motiven und monochromer Abstraktion. Bezüge zu Asger Jorn und Edvard Munch findet man ebenso wie die AuseinanderSetzung mit der ungegenständlichen Malerei Albert Oehlens. Abstrakte, bisweilen orNamentale Elemente vereinen sich mit gegenständlichen, fantasievollen, kindlich-grotesken Figurationen. Neuste Arbeiten entfernen sich wiederum davon hin zur Abstraktion. Zwar schwingen auch hier die Geschichten der frühen Werke mit – liegen wie eine unsichtbare Folie zugrunde – werden jedoch nicht länger figurativ dargestellt. Der vorliegende Katalog gibt eine konzentrierte Übersicht über die Werkentwicklung André Butzers der letzten zehn Jahre.
