Eugen Buchner’s “Berlin Sights” | |
|
Thursday 12th Nov 2009 |
Artist Eugen Buchner has two Berlin-themed Kolo books now on display in the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition. The album duo, collectively named “Berliner Sehenswürdigkeiten” (Berlin Sights), artfully expresses his vision of the city. Eugen used both a chartreuse Kolo Luxury Cortina and a red Kolo Vineyard to display his delicate ink drawings. The drawing titled “Ku-Damm” shows Kurfürstendamm, the main boulevard of West Berlin, and two of the city’s sights. He included Gedächtniskirche, a church located on the street, and “Berlin,” a sculpture that was constructed in 1987 symbolizing the division of West Berlin and East Berlin. Eugen Buchner, originally from Nizhny Tagil, Russia, now resides in the city of Berlin and is currently working in light design and new media art. He studied interior and fashion design at multiple schools throughout Russia and Germany. Eugen incorporates intricate patterns, as seen in his Berlin drawings, into his interior design work. He has had his artwork distributed internationally, including in the United States. In 2008 he was selected for the Americas Biennial Exhibition and Archive. Visit Eugen Buchner's site here. Stay tuned for more works from the “Berlin Through My Lens” Exhibition, a free three-week walking tour celebrating the city’s creative community. If you are in Berlin before November 30th be sure check out each diverse interpretation of the city displayed throughout five fine retail shops: Aarven at Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse 2; Hauptsache at Rosenthaler Strasse 32 ; Leporello at Rykestrasse 46; Monochrom-Berlin at Ackerstrasse 23-26; and Sieben Wuensche at Tucholskystrasse 45.
