Uttech, Tom (*1942 Merrill/USA; American landscape painter and photographer) - "Owl Island, Kakekabic Lake", signed lower left "T.Uttech", oil on canvas, verso with information on the artist, date "July 27, 1984" and title, ca.136 x 136cm, framing - Tom Uttech is an American landscape painter, photographer and graphic artist, known for his atmospherically dense depictions of North American forests and wildlife. Although these landscape scenes are painted in a realistic style, they are not true-to-life depictions, but stylized allegories of nature as an expression of a deeply felt affinity with nature and admiration for the elementally wild and untamed. Uttech grew up in northern Wisconsin and roamed the dense forest landscapes of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ontario as a child. The painter creates his own mystical natural worlds full of symbolism in a manner comparable to the German Romantics of the 19th century, populated by almost magical-seeming wild creatures that eye the viewer, who here stands for the destructive power of civilization, suspiciously and questioningly from the canvas. Uttech uses his compositions to communicate with the audience in a very subtle, almost lyrical way, urgently warning against continuing to encourage the ruthless exploitation and destruction of nature and calling on people to leave their stuffy, overcrowded cities, go out and let the magic of the wilderness work its magic on them. The titles of the works, some of which are difficult to pronounce, are taken from the language of the North American Ojibwe Indians and are intended to lend even more originality to what is depicted. Uttech's extremely complex and fascinating works can be found in numerous (museum) collections, particularly in North America, and fetch very high prices at international auctions
