MILAN.- Gió Marconi is presenting Xylon – Acquarelli, pitture, libri e poesie, André Butzer’s sixth solo show with the gallery.
The exhibition highlights a very important part of the artist’s practice – works on paper which Butzer has continued to produce concomitantly with his paintings.
On display in the gallery is a group of 11 large-scale, black and white figurative drawings from 2008 which are being exhibited for the first time and which are being shown in dialogue with more recent figurative and abstract works on paper.
In conjunction with the show André Butzer – Alcune poesie, a selection of André Butzer’s poems dating from 1999 to 2021, will be published.
André Butzer (*1973, Stuttgart), lives in Berlin-Wannsee.
