Art
Uttech is known for his moody depictions of North American woodlands and animals that inhabit them. [3] [4] 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. [5] [6] His gallery exhibition at Alexandre Gallery in New York in 2023 showcased his latest paintings and raised awareness about the decline in wilderness. [7]
