Piece description from the artist
This expressive graphite drawing honors the majestic presence of a Western Red Cedar—its towering trunk rendered in deep, vertical strokes that anchor the composition with quiet strength. Delicate, feathery boughs extend outward, catching the light and softening the tree’s commanding form. Native to the Pacific Northwest, these ancient giants can live for over a thousand years, and here, the artist captures not just the scale, but the spirit of the tree—resilient, graceful, enduring. Backlit by sun-drenched foliage, the image evokes stillness and reverence, offering a grounded yet uplifting presence in any space.
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.
