LON Gallery is thrilled to present Grace Wood’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery, Petal as Pixel.

Petal as Pixel draws on Wood’s enduring fascination with Lawrence Alma-Tadema’s, The Roses of Heliogabalus (1888), employing it as a metaphor to reimagine seduction, excess, and the proliferation of images through a contemporary lens.

Comprising 80 works, Petal as Pixel centres on an expansive suspended assemblage of petal-sized mirrors, tiered by connective chain, and embellished with abstracted and layered images - all symmetrically balanced. As the viewer moves throughout the gallery, the work evolves, reflections fragment and multiply, enveloping the space with an echo of itself.

Through Petal as Pixel, Wood reflects on the construction, circulation, and truth of images; demonstrating that replication is both seductive and dangerous, and the boundary between reality and fabrication remains suspended in flux.
