Scott Roberts Projects is pleased to announce their inaugural exhibition,  featuring works by Sedgwick Guth. In his Los Angeles debut, Guth presents 12 mixed media  paintings, saturated in color and utilizing the folk art traditions of his Pennsylvania Dutch  heritage to create monumental portraits that weave a world of mythology, intimacy, and personal  reinvention.  

Guth’s recent work evolved from his experience as a Queer artist exploring the realm of  technology and social media, a land with no rule book. As an observer from the outside looking  in, and yet participating in some of the modern rituals, his work explores his place amongst  modernity as well as his reinterpretation of the motifs and Protestant symbolism dominant in his  Pennsylvania Dutch heritage.  

The inclusion of embroidery and sewing in his work is a nod to familial Pennsylvania Dutch  craft and tradition, such as taufscheine frakturs (a colorful, decorative folk art form traditionally  featuring religious, biblical, or nature-based imagery), and mourning embroideries from the early  19th century. Creating his own personal folklore that draws upon astrology and Greek  mythology, as well as his own navigation of romantic and platonic love, sexual capital,  spiritualism, and definition of family.  

In these 12 works, Guth creates gentle and mystical environments for his subjects in which he  presents the story of the ‘everyman,’ with his subjects as proxies amongst flowers, stars, and  mystical symbols, ready to be interpreted and experienced.  

Sedgwick Guth: Someday I May Know You Very Well explores mystical spaces of embroidery,  color, and esoteric traditions. The exhibition is on view Oct. 3 through Oct 30, 2025.
