Dietrich Sieling: Green Light All the Way

ON DISPLAY SOON • opening August 13

RoehrSchmitt Architecture is pleased to present Green Light All the Way On, a solo exhibition of new drawings by Minneapolis-based artist Dietrich Sieling, presented alongside a survey of his large-format work spanning 2010–2026.

Working in graphite, colored pencil and paint marker across paper, acrylite, and plywood, Sieling renders the real world through an intensely personal lens — favorite buildings, refrigerator sounds, particular addresses, black iced coffee, dear friends, swimming pools, beloved lights, and South Minneapolis apartments. His work is marked by a calligraphy of his own invention and a saturated, dynamic use of color, culminating in a body of work that is pure, immediate, and unmistakably his own.
