doug flückiger
Doug Flückiger depicts the natural world with rare precision and stunning attention to detail. His work is created entirely by hand from graphite, similar to what you'd find in an ordinary pencil. It depicts the lakes and forests of his mountain home. Its combination of power, softness, and scale is extremely rare.
Doug has been drawing since he could hold a pencil; but he received little formal training: He had exactly one drawing class in college and for many years concentrated on his career as a graphic and interface designer. But when he and his wife moved with their children to Idaho, the mountainous beauty of his home re-awoke his interest in art, and for two decades he has been seriously pursuing this unique and amenable art form.
His work is influenced by Paul Callé, Andrew Wyeth, Ansel Adams, and the photorealism school. But his strongest influence is still nature herself: snowfall, fog and mist, mornings and evenings, clouds and peaks, light and stone and water.
Doug graduated cum laude from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California; and design informs all his work. Design principles are always present, and combine to make a satisfying composition through which the soul of nature whispers.
