#ProtegeTonSoignant
PIASA
The gallery unites with Piasa to an auction in order to help nursing staff #ProtegeTonSoignant. The auction will take place on Friday, April 3rd at 6pm trough Sunday, April 5th at 6pm. Collectors friends: we are counting on you!
Organized on the initiative of Laurent Dumas - president and shareholder of PIASA - this online auction will bring together more than a hundred works by contemporary artists and creators.
In the urgency required by the health situation and to meet the needs of the hospital structures and their staff, we immediately responded by donating a work by the internationally renowned Cuban artist, Misleidys Castillo Pedroso.
100% of the raised funds will benefit to the nursing staff.
This Cuban artist has no other means of expression than that of her creation. The walls of her home, where she lives with her mother, are covered with drawings of bodybuilders, brown tape scattered along the outlines. A true community of men, women, hermaphrodites and wildlife, Misleidys has built her sociality through her work. Discovered by the gallery in 2014, she has been featured in more than 10 international exhibitions since 2018, including New Images of Man in Los Angeles, Flying High in Vienna, and Independent in New York. Acclaimed by Matthew Higgs and Karen Wong (New Museum, NYC), the artist has been the subject of recent reviews in the New York Times and Art in America.
A significant number of his works was donated to the Centre Pompidou collection in 2021.
