Born in 1973 in Stuttgart, Germany, artist André Butzer has established himself as a pivotal figure in modern painting, known for a style he describes as Science Fiction Expressionism. He began focusing seriously on art around age 20, later attending the Akademie Isotrop in Hamburg from 1996 to 2000, where he developed a non conformist approach. His work is a high energy fusion of European Expressionism and American pop culture, often featuring recurring, cartoonish characters like the "Friedens Siemens" and exploring a self created, non imaginable space he calls "NASAHEIM". Butzer, who often shares insights via his Instagram Andre Butzer, has seen his paintings evolve from chaotic, chromatically intense figures to minimalist black and white compositions.

Significant accomplishments include his works populating permanent collections in major institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, LACMA in Los Angeles, Saatchi Gallery in London, and the Rubell Museum. He also co founded the Institut für SDI Traumforschung in 2001. Famous pieces and series include his iconic Friedens Siemens characters, the Wanderer figures, and his acclaimed N paintings, with notable works like "Chips und Pepsi und Medizin (Das Glück)" fetching high prices at auction.

His exhibition history is extensive, featuring solo shows at prestigious venues such as the Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover, Kunsthalle Nuremberg, Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza in Madrid, and the Museo Novecento in Florence. He has participated in group exhibitions at MoCA Los Angeles and MUMOK in Vienna. His gallery representations and shows have included major partnerships with Galerie Max Hetzler, Skarstedt Gallery, and Carbon 12. Collectors of limited edition prints and posters frequently seek out his vibrant, chaotic canvases that bridge the gap between high art and pop culture, all while questioning the human condition.
