Amelia Abascal Gómez (born 1920) was a Spanish-born Mexican painter, sculptor, and ceramist.
Abascal was born in Madrid, Spain in 1920. [1] She was primarily a self-taught artist. [2] After arriving in Mexico in 1940 [2] at the age of 20, she took classes in chemistry, and applied it to her plastic arts, painting, ceramics, and designing. [2] She was one of four artists to represent Mexico in 1968 at an exhibition in Argentina of Latin American painting. Following the Exhibition in Argentina, Abascal won acclaim with a solo exhibition at the Misrachi Art Gallery in Mexico City, Mexico in 1968. [2]
Abascal's work involves treating bronze and copper sheets with acid to create an eroded texture. She specializes in relief sculpture, but has also produced murals. [2]
Abascal's acid-treated copper plates were shown at the 1967 Galería de Arte Mexicano which was held in Mexico City, Mexico during the months of January and February. [3] The plates were described by a critic as "abstracted vigor on to copper plates." [3]
At the 1967 Galería de Arte Mexicano alongside Abascal's acid-treated copper plates were pieces from Carlos Merida whom is credited as being one of the first Latin artists to combine European and Latin styles in painting. [3]
