Rallou Panagiotou
Rallou Panagiotou (b. 1978) received her artistic education at the Athens School of Fine Arts and holds a MFA from the Glasgow School of Art. She lives and works in Athens and Glasgow. Panagiotou creates sculptural topologies with composite materiality and formal conciseness. The materials Panagiotou uses have an association to the built environment, and with those materials she makes artworks that relate to the body – in a state of leisure and reverie. Her works encapsulate an embodiment of personal memory. Panagiotou was recently featured in a solo exhibition titled Pocket Microclimate at the City of Athens Arts Centre at Parko Eleftherias (2021).
