Piece description from the artist
Minimal and contemplative, this drawing captures a solitary maple in winter, its bare branches adorned with lingering raindrops. Inspired by a quiet afternoon walk near a lakeshore, the artist isolates the tree against a soft, expansive sky—removing surrounding elements to emphasize stillness and simplicity. The off-center composition and delicate balance echo principles of Japanese aesthetics, offering a sense of calm and quiet elegance. Ideal for serene, reflective environments, this piece invites viewers to slow down and appreciate the quiet persistence of life, even in its most understated forms.
Doug Flückiger’s graphite landscapes elevate black and white to the realm of the sublime. Working entirely by hand, he renders the American West with architectural precision and meditative grace. His large-scale drawings—some spanning eight feet—merge design discipline with the poetry of wilderness. A graduate of ArtCenter College of Design, Flückiger creates works collected for their patience, mastery, and timeless stillness.
