“For the past 20 years, Dehne’s work has focused on commandeering and reshaping the myths and male driven fantasies of rock album covers, art history and her own compositions to create vital statements about the role of women in contemporary society and their own liberation.” ‘“Supernatural Thing’ Series Opening at RAG,” The Catskills Chronicle.
Her work has been the feature of several solo exhibitions in NYC at Deitch Projects, Haswellediger & Co. Gallery, Blackston Gallery, Charles Bank Gallery, and in Berlin, Germany at Achim Kubinski Gallery and AJL Gallery as well as numerous group shows in NYC at White Columns, Salomon Contemporary, Eric Firestone, Bushel, Delhi NY and Johan König Gallery, Berlin Germany. Since 2018, Dehne has been on the board of Directors at Black Ball Projects. In 2020, she received the Delaware County Arts Grant.
Pia was born in Düsseldorf, Germany and received her Master of Fine Arts in 1994 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Dehne later lived in Berlin before relocating to New York City in 1999. She has lived and worked in the Catskills since 2011.
