Will Gabaldón (b. 1978 Belen, New Mexico) lives and works in Chicago, IL. Gabaldón’s intimately scaled oil paintings on linen and panel foreground the natural world. In varying shades of green offset by vibrantly colored skies, Gabaldón creates bucolic scenes based on personal memories of various outdoor spaces as well as imagined scenarios wherein the impacts of climate change are present.

He has had solo exhibitions at The Journal Gallery, New York (2023); Galería Mascota, Mexico City (2023); Various Small Fires, Los Angeles and Seoul (2022); TSA Gallery, Brooklyn, New York (2013); amongst others.
