Oui Love Paris

Spring was made for Paris—or perhaps the other way round. The city
seems to emerge from hibernation with renewed optimism. Boulevards
soften beneath blossoming trees, cafés spill gently onto the
pavements, and the unmistakable outline of the Eiffel Tower hovers
reassuringly above it all.

I’m always drawn to the quieter atmosphere around these icons—the
small shifts of light, colour and movement that give the city its real
charm. Away from the hotspots, the calmer 'arrondissements' and leafy
parks offer a welcome sanctuary from the crowds and a chance to
appreciate a gentler side of Paris, where the pace slows just enough
to notice the details.

"Being challenged daily and discovering new and exciting ways of pushing boundaries keeps me motivated. My mixed media landscapes have something to say, which I like to express with collage and typography."

Butler creates this narrative with an expert use of characterisation; the people that occupy his scenes, a stylised representation of society that has often been compared to L.S. Lowry, are complemented and modernised with Butler’s collages.His inclusion of newspaper text, slogans, statements or a single word, adds a depth and intrigue that keeps the audience hooked.This murmur from the artist, a quiet commentary accompanying the scene itself can be likened to the hum of the city, the gentle chatter of a metropolis. With this, Butler brings an essence of the City onto our walls and into our homes.
