[18] A newer example is „The Alchemy of Snowness“, an autobiographically inspired book written by internationally known clown Slava Polunin and published in English in 2014, featuring 27 pictures by Buchholz.
[19] The artist has created hundreds of paintings used for book covers, audio books, posters and advertisements, postcards,[20] games, calendars and planners[21] produced by a number of German publishing houses (e.g. Munich-based Carl Hanser Verlag, Ravensburger, Suhrkamp, Heye), as well as international publishing houses (among others, Random House, Macmillan/Farrar, Straus & Giroux, Beisler Editore,[22] Éditions Milan, Nórdica Libros,[23] CIP in China, and Grimm Press in Taiwan[24]).
[27] In terms of technique, Buchholz's paintings cite the traditions of photorealism and pointillism, while his topics and themes are also inspired by magical realism.
[31] The depicted elements, which can be read as elaborate and subtle symbolism, often tell stories with surprising messages revealing themselves only upon close scrutiny.
However, he also has cooperations with a number of smaller and bigger galleries, cultural institutions, and bookstores in and around Munich, where he often gives readings and performances.
[43] For example, his works have been shown in Nancy and Strasbourg, France (1999),[44] at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Taiwan (2000), the Goethe Institute in Thessaloniki, Greece (2007),[45] as well as in Medellín and Bogotá, Colombia (2014), Klagenfurt, Austria (2014),[46] and Pazin, Croatia (2017).
[53][54] The book received one of the „Premios a los libros mejor editados en 2016“,[55] an award by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports.
[61] Buchholz has worked as a stage designer in productions of “The Golem“ (2005) and “Caligula“ (2007) at the Munich Metropole Theater (director: Jochen Schoelch).
