Reality is Relative

Almine Rech London is pleased to present 'Reality is Relative', Serolod's first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from 6 June to 26 July 2025. In Serolod’s paintings, boundaries are only suggestions. Look closer, and you discover that each form is profoundly connected to everything around it. Einstein's theory of general relativity is a crucial touchstone for the artist.

Serolod (b. 1997, Greece) is a painter living and working in London. Her work explores the fluidity of perception, the interplay between color and form, and the juxtaposition between contemporary and traditional mediums. Beginning with digitally altered imagery, she transforms these compositions through oil paint, pushing beyond the digital image's constraints to create depth, texture, and presence. She constructs compositions that blur the boundaries between skin and environment, subject and space, presence and absence. Her paintings evoke a reality that is not fixed but in constant flux, where the visible and invisible intertwine.

Serolod holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, UK, and a BA/MA from the School of Visual and Applied Arts, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece.
