Biography
[edit]Born in Merrill, Wisconsin, Uttech received a BA from Layton School of Art in Milwaukee in 1965 and an MFA from the University of Cincinnati in 1976.[2] Uttech's primary painting teacher was Guido Brink.[citation needed] After completing his studies, Uttech was a professor of art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee until 1998.[3] He resides in Saukville, Wisconsin.[4]
Art
[edit]
Uttech is known for his moody depictions of North American woodlands and animals that inhabit them.[5][6] Uttech's painting Neiab Nin Nasikodadimin, Bejigwan (Chippewa for "we reunite") in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art is typical of the artist's moody, but slightly stylized, landscapes. Museums in Georgia, Arkansas, Hawaii, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Arizona hold works by Uttech.[7][8] His gallery exhibition at Alexandre Gallery in New York in 2023 showcased his latest paintings and raised awareness about the decline in wilderness.[9]
