“Painter in oil, creator of painted wood boxworks and teacher, born and lived in London, son of the artist Robert Buhler. He studied at Royal College of Art, 1960–3, teachers Carel Weight, Ceri Richards, Ruskin Spear and Colin Hayes. Buhler taught part-time in many art schools, university art departments and at Imperial College. He was a prolific exhibitor, including RA, John Moores Exhibition in Liverpool, Camden Arts Centre, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and elsewhere. Had solo shows at New Arts Centre, 1966–71, Architectural Association, 1968, and Maclean Gallery, 1981–92. Buhler’s one-man exhibition Street Life and Beyond, at Chappel Galleries, Chappel, 2002, reflected the artist’s strong interest in Unidentified Flying Objects. Arts Council, British Museum, Eastern Arts Association and Liverpool University hold his work.

“From the 1960s Buhler's paintings were based on an underlying diagonal grid, sometimes faintly visible through the paint that to some extent dictated the placing of elements in the composition. This grid dictated, though not rigidly, "the placing of elements in the composition, such as colour patterns through the linear design and the perspective." Lack of facial features and hair on figures was "part of my aim to minimise figuration and individuality as in graphic communication." (The Independent Wednesday 17 February 2010
