Exhibitors List VOLTA4Chloe Piene
Born 1972, Connecticut USA
Piene’s charcoal drawings are cast from a wide arena of ritual, commemoration, death and epic privacy. Her subjects divide and combine elements of bone, skin, space and surface, evoking luxury, suspense, tension and a certain pleasure in forensic accuracy, fantasy and detail. Piene’s work is both alluring and strange, where morbidity and affection always meet on a shared plane.
During 2007 Piene has exhibited solo shows at the Witte de With Center for Contemporary art in Rotterdam, the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Nîmes, and Alon Segev Gallery, Tel-Aviv. Her drawings and videos were featured in the 2004 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
