Max Hetzler Potsdamer Straße 77-87

André Butzer: Rohe Milch

6. November 2021 – 29. Januar 2022

Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce Rohe Milch, a solo exhibition by André Butzer at the gallery’s new space at Potsdamer Straße 77–87.

After having explored the fundamental dimensions of colour, light, proportions and the potentiality of painterly expression in the seemingly utter black of his N-Paintings, Butzer relocated to California from 2018 to 2021. Painting outdoors year-round, his latest works brim with a vibrating freshness and display his painterly mastery.

This “American experience” confirmed Butzer’s belief that paintings are “localisations of the greatest despair and the greatest hope,” which is exactly why “they come closest to the very joy and aid we are in dire need of.” As each painting establishes a pictorial position of its own true dwelling, the titles name customs and things, places, landscapes and friendships, Butzer holds dear.
