press 2011 Badische Zeitung from June 4, 2011 Exhibition Carlo Büchner Raiffeisenbank 2011 __________________________________________ Everyday life skewered Carlo Büchner from Sexau is exhibiting in Reute REUTE (piz). His caricatures are not current, his themes are not global political conflicts, but rather they are things from everyday life, captured in a relaxed and funny way, which the graphic artist and cartoonist Carlo Büchner from Sexau shows in the rooms of the Raiffeisenbank in Reute. The cartoons thrive on depicting everyday situations that every viewer can understand. The characters are true to life and extremely humorous. The fact that Carlo Büchner doesn't necessarily appreciate Christmas is reflected in some of his caricatures. It starts with the anticipation of the festival and the two-part picture. “Cable fire and tree fire”. Only rubble and skeletons remain of two festively illuminated houses - you can almost feel the glee. Before the "tree fire" there was a dispute about whether real or electric candles should be used - now it's gone. The painter takes a lot of things from the humorous side, for example in the picture “Smoking Table” or “The Optimist”, and the caricature “Size” is also very appealing. The state-certified graphic designer Büchner was already drawing recognizable shapes on toilet paper at the age of four. He himself, he says, never thought that painting would become the foundation of his profession. But it continued throughout his school career. In 2007, after training as a wholesaler, Büchner attended the Academy for Communication in Freiburg, specializing in graphic design. He was back, he says, in the world of design and felt very comfortable with it. He came to graphics through drawing and humor through graphics, which is why he founded “Carlo Büchner Arts”. Under this name, a large number of works were created in the areas of cartoons, poetry, building drawings, portraits, caricatures and paintings, as well as book and poster illustrations. Büchner drew the Freiburg Cathedral for the Münsterbauverein, which was auctioned off for the benefit of the association. __________________________________________ RegioTrends from June 1, 2011 Exhibition Carlo Büchner Raiffeisenbank 2011 __________________________________________ Vernissage opened by Carlo Büchner Arts in the Raiffeisenbank branch in Reute Yesterday evening the exhibition by Carlo Büchner Arts opened in the premises of Raiffeisenbank eG Gundelfingen. Relatives, friends and acquaintances did not want to miss the second opening. Valentin Hettich, board member of Raiffeisenbank eG Gundelfingen, started things off. “As a Reutem native, it is a pleasure for him to be able to welcome the vernissage of a Reutemer all-rounder in the Reutem branch today. Multi-talented because not only the drawings play an important role in Büchner's work, but also the art of poetry. Carlo Büchner’s illustrations are very profound and show anecdotes from his own life.” It's nice that so many young people are showing interest in this opening. The artist then addressed the guests in a skillfully charming and humorous manner. He thanked the Raiffeisenbank for its support, especially Thomas Danner, Reute branch manager, who pushed forward the idea for this exhibition. But also with Valentin Hettich, board member of Raiffeisenbank eG Gundelfingen, with Ulrike Bauer, organization Raiffeisenbank Gundelfingen and with all those who actively supported him in realizing his opening. 24-year-old Carlo Büchner laid the foundation for his professional career early on. Starting with doodles in school notebooks, the trained wholesaler found his way into the world of design in 2007. In 2007 he began his training at the Academy for Communication (specializing in graphic design) in Freiburg. In 2008, alongside his training, he founded his own business “Carlo Büchner Arts”. In 2010 he graduated from the academy as a state- certified graphic designer and has since dedicated himself to artistic work in the areas of: cartoons, poetry, building drawings, portraits, caricatures, paintings, book and poster illustrations, but also film recordings for theaters and events.
