Andrea Büttner

Andrea Büttner’s interdisciplinary practice combines in-depth research with an exploration of the tensions between aesthetics and ethics, situating her subjects within this ambivalent context.

Working across printmaking, painting, video, and installation, she intertwines historical art movements, religious traditions, and contemporary social issues. Frequently engaging with themes rooted in religious communities and ethics, she highlights overlooked details of everyday life. Central to her practice is an exploration of the relationship between art, labor, and humility—investigating how artistic expression navigates ideas of shame, poverty, and marginality.
