André Butzer at METRO PICTURES

James Kalm brings viewers the New York debut exhibition of this German artist. Born in Stuttgart, and now living near Berlin, Butzer was a founding member of the "revolutionary" Akademie Isotrop in Hamburg in 1996. Using a heavily pigmented technique of freewheeling paint application, Butzer extends the Expressionistic tradition while infusing it with his own unique version of cartoon and kitsch imagery, with comments by Anthony Hayward. . Included are an opening glimpse of Austrian Actionist artist Herman Nitsch, and a closing peek at a DIVA Art Fair container featuring "Glass Block Video" by Willi Bucher, curated by ALP Galleries.

these paintings really are descendants of German Expressionism. Delightfully honest.

I like the uniformity of the work.
