Abel Azcona (born 1 April 1988) is a Spanish artist, specializing in performance art.[1][2][3] His work includes installations,[4] sculptures,[5] and video art.[6] He is known as the "enfant terrible" of Spanish contemporary art.[7] His first works dealt with personal identity, violence and the limits of pain; his later works are of a more critical, political and social nature.[8]

Azcona's works have been exhibited at the Venetian Arsenal, the Contemporary Art Center in Málaga,[9] the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art,[10] the Houston Art League,[11] the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York[12] and the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid.[13] His work has also been exhibited at the Asian Art Biennale in Dhaka and Taipei,[14] the Lyon Biennale,[15] the Miami International Performance Festival[16] and the Bangladesh Live Art Biennale.[17] The Bogotá Museum of Contemporary Art dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him in 2014.[18][19]
