Her drawing has been described as "brutal, delicate, figurative, forensic, erotic, and fantastic".[https://www.artbook.com/9782907650335.html Schwabsky, Barry; Cohen, Francoise, eds (2008).

One of her many art historical references is Death and the Maiden (1517) by Hans Baldung Grien. In this, a panicked maiden is seized by a kiss from a grotesque and rotten death. "Yet with Piene, the two mythological figures melt together, since in her charcoal drawings we encounter not Death and the Maiden, but rather the Maiden as Death."{{Cite book |last=Salié |first=Olaf |title=Rising: Young Artists to keep an Eye on! |date=2011 |publisher=Daab Media, Cologne |isbn=978-3-942597-03-6}}{{Cite web |last=Richard |first=Frances |date=2003-05-01 |title=Reviews: New York, Chloe Piene, Tanja Grunert Gallery |url=https://www.artforum.com/events/chloe-piene-2-205675/}}

Her large-scale video works utilize the greater sensory impact of noise, time, darkness, and misrecognition to visibly extend into the more subterranean levels of experience.{{Cite book |url=https://simania.co.il/bookdetails.php?item_id=891953 |title=Chloe Piene - Barry Schwabsky}} Her video “Blackmouth” premiered at the 2004 Whitney Bienniall.{{Cite web |last=Haber |first=John |date=2004 |title=Fair and Balanced: The 2004 Whitney Biennial |url=https://www.haberarts.com/whitny04.htm |access-date=2 November 2024}} “You’re Gonna Be My Woman” was shown at Kunsthalle Bern in 2003[https://kunsthalle-bern.ch/en/-exhibitions/2004/chloe-piene/ Fibicher, Bernard; Trimming, Lee (2004).

Steel, iron, and plasticine cast from skulls reflect an "under-structure" prevalent in all her work.{{Cite web |title=Galerie Barbara Thumm \ Chloe Piene |url=https://bthumm.de/artists/chloe-piene/ |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=Galerie Barbara Thumm |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=March 13, 2011 |title=CHLOE PIENE: Malpertuis |url=https://www.berlinartlink.com/2011/03/14/6441/ |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=Berlin Art Link |language=en-US}}

Chloe Piene's exhibition at Marianne Boesky Gallery (2000) included drawings, video and a live performance in which nine former convicts and nine women read from correspondence Piene had with a prisoner serving a 99-year sentence, the performance stemmed from her publication from the correspondences entitled "Lovelady, Texas".{{cite web |last1=Hunt |first1=David |date=7 June 2000 |title=Chloe Piene at Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York |url=https://www.frieze.com/article/chloe-piene |access-date=2 November 2024 |website=Frieze |language=en}}
