Piéron spent a large part of his childhood in the hospital, a place he still has to visit today. At the age of 40, Benoît Piéron has transformed a tamed illness into a potential for action. He has been resident artist at the Pinault Collection in Lens, the Fondation Hermès and the Casa de Velazquez, and has exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo and the Chisenhale Gallery in London, and has been nominated for the Ricard prize. In his sculptures, patchworks and installations, which often borrow their pastel colours from hospital linen, he has developed a body of work in which the medical world is transformed into an intimate reverie, a reflection on waiting, the garden and sensuality. The result is an inner journey that is as hallucinatory as uncertain.
