Espen Dietrichson. Seven Years

The starting point for Dietrichson's works is architecture but detached from scale and human scale. The artist's interest is the spatial, the angular, the geometric. Shapes create utopian imagery in the form of sculpture, watercolour or silkscreens of levitating building elements or sculptures and installations in public spaces. The book is divided into four chapters, with a brief introductory text. Art historian Øivind Storm Bjerke writes about Dietrichson's watercolours, curator Karl Olav Segrov Mortensen about sculptures, and writer Maria Moseng about the silkscreens, while the art critic Arve Rød describes the artist's public art projects.
- First international publication and largest gathering of the artist's work.
- The volume is a mid-career retrospective and is published in the context of Dietrichson's exhibition at the Haugar Art Museum in January 2019.
