ANDRÉ BUTZER COLLECTION
CELINE MEN SUMMER 20

GERMAN ARTIST ANDRÉ BUTZER (*1973, STUTTGART) HAS PAINTED HIS WAY THROUGH THE ARTISTIC AND POLITICAL EXTREMES OF THE 20TH CENTURY
—LIFE, DEATH, CONSUMPTION AND MASS ENTERTAINMENT—INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. MANY ICONIC CHARACTERS HAVE COME TO POPULATE BUTZER’S
“SCIENCE-FICTION-EXPRESSIONISM” WITH THEIR RECOGNISABLE LARGE COMIC-BOOK EYES, INFLATED HEADS OR OVERSIZED HANDS.
 

FOR THE COLLABORATION WITH CELINE, THE FIGURE OF ANDRÉ BUTZER’S “WANDERER” (2001) HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM THE ARTIST’S SKETCHBOOKS,
LITHOGRAPHS AND LINOLEUM PRINTS. THIS CHARACTER HAS BEEN ADAPTED ONTO VARIOUS PRODUCTS ACROSS THE RANGE INCLUDING EMBROIDERED
BLACK COTTON THREAD ONTO RAFFIA BASKETS, PRINTED IN BLACK AND WHITE ONTO GRAINED LEATHER AND FEATURED AS AN ARTWORK PATCH ONTO T-SHIRTS AND HIGH-TOP SNEAKERS
