In Paris

In London

He travels to Paris and works in Julio Le Parc’s atelier; Le Parc was a friend from the the Escuela de Bellas Artes, although Gómez was a freshman in the year Le Parc was about to graduate. Gómez collaborates with Le Parc in the latter’s kinetic pieces. He also helps Antonio Berni print his engravings devoted to Ramona Montiel. In his two years in Europe, Gómez travels around several countries, coming into contact with the art of the great masters, whose influence, however, he systematically reelaborates in order to preserve his artistic liberty.

He notes how well produced and graphically attractive European magazines are, and he uses them to do a series of abstract constructivist collages in which one can already see fragments of architectural ornamentation as those that will reappear in his sculptures many years later.
