Ranging from fantastical to humorous to sardonic, Dennis Miranda Zamorano’s invigorating and penetrating caricatures broaden the viewer’s perception and understanding of post-colonial contemporary society.
Dennis Miranda Zamorano (b.1993) lives and works in Mexico City, Mexico. His work investigates a multitude of material and conceptual approaches towards unexpected depictions of the human form and reflections on the human condition.
Miranda Zamorano is a self-taught artist who considers himself a product of a tradition called El Tianguis, an open-air market business that has long been the alternative for the survival of countless Mexican entrepreneurs.
His recent solo exhibitions include: Falling Upwards, Galerie Marguo (Paris, FR 2023); Ongoing portraits Chapter I, Galleria Furiosa (Mexico City, MX, 2021) and Ongoing portraits Chapter II, IMAGINE GALLERY (San Miguel de Allende, MX 2021); Los Relatos del Rostro, AppArt (Paris, 2018); LANDSCAPE, The Tiny Box Project (San Miguel de Allende, MX, 2017); For Here or to Go, WNDO space (Los Angeles, CA, 2017); El Límite de la Risa, IMAGINE GALLERY (San Miguel de Allende, MX 2016); and My American Experience, WNDO Space (Los Angeles, CA 2014).
Miranda Zamorano is a member of the artist collective Colectivo ABSURDAS (Mexico City, MX) and co-founder of the Librería Informal, a contemporary art library in the Tianguis LAGUNILLA. In 2019 he was awarded a residency at Art House Holland (Leiden, NE) and 2018 he was an artist-in-residence at Zona-Seis, Galeria Luis Adelantado (Mexico City, MX).

Dennis Miranda Zamorano: Falling Upwards
Paris Exhibition Film 22 Nov 2023We are pleased to announce the forthcoming solo exhibition Falling Upwards by Mexican artist Dennis Miranda Zamorano. On view from 24 November 2023 to 6 January 2024, this is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Dennis Miranda Zamorano's monolithic tableaux are inescapably material.
