Doug Pisik Wood Artist
Doug Pisik is a nationally recognized artist who specializes in creating wood sculptures, 3D wall pieces and intricate art boxes with complex designs both inside and out. He uses a meticulous and unique approach to construct both geometrical patterns and freeform carvings while preserving the natural beauty of the diverse wood species he uses.
Recognized for his unique talent, Doug has been identified as a “Top Artist” by Marquis Who’s Who, been part of over twenty museum exhibitions, received awards in many juried exhibits of national artists, collaborated with other recognized artists, and is classified as a “Master Woodworker” from the Woodworker’s Guild of Georgia. He has accepted large commissions including several from Home Depot, Carnival Corporation, Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre, and the Smith Gilbert Gardens.
His work is often composed of unique geometric patterns generated out of highly contrasting woods with a perfected technique called “Through-Pattern Construction” allowing complex patterns to pass from the outside through to the inside of his boxes and to the backside of his sculptures ensuring every facet is finely decorated. Dyes and stains are typically avoided and instead Doug continuously searches for woods with naturally contrasting colors and tones to accent his work. Some of his pieces are constructed with over a dozen species of wood and are composed of over a thousand pieces seamlessly joined into a solid composition.
His work is collected by Tony and Emmy award winners, movie producers, Pulitzer and Grammy nominees, CEOs, an art museum, botanical gardens, other artists, and can be found in collections coast-to-coast and in Europe and Israel. His art is sold via private commissions, the High Museum of Art, and galleries in Georgia, Colorado, and online.
