Piece description from the artist
One moves silently in this hall of giants, footsteps muffled by centuries of detritus on the forest floor, the wind blocked by deep canyon walls and impossibly tall trees. Spring’s new growth jabs upward from the forest floor. Tree trunks cluster, their fronds hanging demurely in brilliant shafts of sunlight. And at their center looms the great ancestor, a western red cedar as ponderous as a mountain. Its mass sags downward like an elephant foot, burdening the very earth. It rule unopposed by half a millennium of opposition, a symbol of silent inexorable growth, in a realism drawing eight feet wide.
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.
