Lücke als Argument...

André Butzer (*1973 in Stuttgart, Deutschland) gilt heute als einer der prägenden Künstler seiner Generation. Bekannt ist er der Öffentlichkeit auch unter den Namen: N-Hölderlin, Henry Butzer oder Calvin Cohn. Beeinflusst durch die Art Brut, die Naive Malerei und vor allem den Expressionismus, erfindet er seinen eigenen Malstil, den Science-Fiction-Expressionismus. Die kraftvollen und farbigen Werke sind der Beleg der intensiven Auseinandersetzung Butzers mit der Malerei, welche er an die Grenzen ihrer Möglichkeiten bringen möchte. Sie können als naive Abstraktion oder autodidaktische Malerei gesehen werden, alles ist möglich, nur soll seine Kunst nicht moralisierend oder belehrend sein. Die reduzierte Abstraktion seiner schwarzen Bilder wiederum wurde zu einer weiteren malerischen Haltung, einer Entscheidung, die Malerei zu sich selbst zurück zu führen.

In seiner ersten Einzelausstellung in Belgien zeigt Butzer einen Überblick der letzten Jahrzehnte seines noch jungen Schaffens. Zentrales Argument dieser Ausstellung ist die Auslassung, sowohl die malerische als auch die erzählerische, die sich in seinen Werken manifestiert. Es sind gerade diese Lücken, die den Besucherinnen und Besuchern die eigene Produktion von Phantasie erlauben und Raum für Spekulationen schaffen. Mit dieser Retrospektive bildet André Butzer den Auftakt des unter den Begriffen Pragmatismus und Selbstorganisation stehenden neuen Ausstellungsjahres im IKOB.

André Butzer’s interview on his solo exhibition at IKOB - Museum for Contemporary Art in  Eupen. 

"André Butzer" Until March 4, 2018 More information   

For his first solo exhibition in Belgium, the wellknown German painter André Butzer, who was born in 1973 in Stuttgart and co-founded the notable-notorious artists’ group Akademie Isotrop, will present an overview of the recent decades of his still-young artistic output.Whereas his black-and-white works from recent years seem to withdraw from view, in the pictures he painted around the year 2000 glaringly colourful figures reminiscent of comic books or children’s drawings thrust themselves into view. Butzer considers both groups of works to speak the same language with differ
ent dialects: His unswerving focus in on painting itself and the question as to what painting is still capable of expressing today.

Lars and I love art and especially contemporary art. To our delight, there was a museum of contemporary art in Eupen called IKOB. Even better, it was just two steps away from our hotel. So, one afternoon we decided it was time for a visit.

The museum is quite small and only contains two floors. At the ground floor, you can see a small sample of their collection.

On the first floor, there was an exhibition dedicated to Eric Peters. We had never heard of this artist before, but luckily the website of the museum provided us with more than enough information:

Eric Peters lives and works in Aachen. His painting is unique in its consistency, and is widely recognised both in Germany and internationally. With his paintings he circles around the secrets of the creation , and analyses the human psyche with its various layers and superpositions . Still life, portraits, and cosmology are his preferred motifs. He understands how to skilfully juggle with their art historical significance . Wheras in the beginning he determined the composition through the circular form, he now relies on the principle of multiple overlays – the superposition.

We thoroughly enjoyed his works. They looked simple but complex at the same time. Have a look yourself:

Did you recognize some of the faces? There was actually a lot more to see, but I had to make a selection. Unfortunately, the exhibition has ended in the meantime.

If you want to know more about this museum, check out their website. Although the official address says Rotenberg, you can access IKOB via the Neustrasse as well (which is what we did). If you come by car, you can park for free, in front of the nearby Carrefour supermarket. Anyway, if you love contemporary art, count half an afternoon to admire all the works.
