Chloe Piene
Chloe Piene is known for her intense and powerful work. Since the late 1990s, she has been making charcoal drawings showing the ambiguous physical boundaries between men and women, people and animals. Critics have compared her drawings to Egon Shiele's emaciated self portraits and Edvard Munch's depictions of death and maidens, yet Piene's figures materialize and inhabit the page in a way that is uniquely theirs.
She has had solo shows at Klemens Gasser & Tanja Grunert, Inc., New York; Galerie Barbara Thumm, Berlin; Carré d’Art—Musée d’Art Contemporain, Nîmes; Witte de With, Rotterdam; and Kunsthalle Bern, Bern. She also participated in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. Chloe Piene lives and works in New York and Berlin. She is represented by Barbara Thrumm Gallery (Berlin).
Highpoint Editions Artist Chloe Piene’s work will be in the upcoming exhibition at Berlin Kupferstichkabinett.
Highpoint Editions work is being showcased at the University of Wyoming Art Museum during the Mid America Print Council.
The Plains Art Museum in Fargo, ND will present an exhibition of HP prints this fall. Entitled Beyond Order: Selections from Highpoint Editions, the exhibition will be on view September 17, 2016 through January 26, 2017.
New York and Berlin-based artist Chloe Piene completed her first Highpoint Editions project in the spring of 2010. Like her drawings, Piene’s new prints feature gothic figures that are darkly beautiful.
