Tomás Díaz Cedeño (b. 1983, CDMX) lives and works in CDMX. His artistic production delves into the interplay between the natural and the artificial, resulting in unique syncretic and liminal encounters where landscape, materials, and the body converge. Diaz Cedeño utilizes natural and found pigments, clay, and metal in his creative process, often incorporating performative solo rituals and interaction with technology. This approach yields alternative representations of the body and organic structures found in nature.
Díaz Cedeño’s recent individual and group shows have taken place at PEANA, CDMX, MX; Ribot Gallery, MIL, IT; Tiro al Blanco, GDL, MX; KinoSaito Art Center, NY, US; DS Galerie; PAR, FR; Silke Lindner, NY, US; Museo MARCO, MTY, MX; Fundación Casa de México en España, MAD, ES; François Ghebaly in LA, US; Galerie Nordenhake in CDMX, MX; Frieze London, LDN, UK; LISTE Basel, BS, CH; Blain Southern, LDN, UK; Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, CDMX, MX; Museo del Chopo, CDMX, MX; and PEANA, MTY, MX.
