Works by Daniel Lezama

Daniel Lezama’s painting and aesthetic vision focus on extraordinarily painted narratives, referenced from the Mexican vernacular context, on the unofficial stories of memories, dreams and desires, as well as on a new romanticism that sees art under an existential perspective. Usually making large or medium format paintings and sometimes drawing, monotype and engraving, Lezama expresses his profound and unprecedented vision of "the Mexican" in an era marked by post-conceptual practices.

Daniel Lezama has participated in solo exhibitions at venues such as Museo de la Ciudad, Mexico City, Mexico (2008); Roebling Hall Gallery, New York, USA (2002); Hof & Huyser Galerie, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (1998), among others. She has also participated in group exhibitions in venues such as Angerlehner Museum, Austria (2014); Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City, Mexico (2013); Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico City, Mexico (2010). In 2022, his work was recognized with a retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City and in 2005 he participated in the II Biennial of Beijing, China. His work belongs to prestigious collections around the world including those of the Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC), Mexico City, Mexico; Murderme Collection, London, UK; Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City, Mexico; Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Ghent, Belgium; Hermes Trust Collection, London, UK; Institut Valenciá D'Art Modern, Spain; Museo del Barrio, New York, USA; and Essl Sammlung, Vienna, Austria, among others.
