André Butzer — Neue Schwester
André Butzer

Neue Schwester

A visceral and explosive composition, André Butzer's *Neue Schwester* pulses with raw gestural energy through bold applications of acrylic and lacquer on canvas. Butzer's signature fusion of American cartoon imagery and German Expressionism collides in a fever-dream of distorted figuration and intense, luminous color. The lacquer's glossy finish amplifies the painting's psychic intensity, lending an almost industrial sheen to its deeply emotional, mythic undertones.
