About the presentation
Alexandre Gallery will dedicate a solo presentation to the American landscape painter Tom Uttech. The artist’s imaginary woodland scenes celebrate the verdant natural world he has been closely acquainted with since his childhood in Merrill, Wisconsin. The Precambrian Shield stretches across the northern United States and southeastern Canada, where the ancient igneous rock that forms the core of the continent is exposed, and miles of lakes, woodland, and wildlife lie untouched by human influence. Uttech’s appreciation for this land is clear in his devotion to recreating what it feels like to be in those woods, particularly at dawn and dusk, when the mystical powers of the forest and its wildlife are most evident. This sense of mystery is preserved in the titles of his paintings, which are derived from an ancient lexicon of the Chippewa language.
