Bio
Leslie
Gabaldon attended The New England School of Art & Design in
Boston, MA, and The Art Students League of NY. She has focused
her attention in new media since 1988.Her tendencies towards
alternate mediums eventually lead on to embrace photography as the
foundation of her work. Her ideas breed from concepts of sociological
memory, especially in female issues in the contemporary world (she
often incorporates toys as elements of nostalgia). Gabaldon’s
curiosity for words not only as a mean to communicate ideas but as
aesthetics elements appears throughout her body of work. She
exquisitely merges image and text as visual poetry. Her most recent
work “Ink on Roses” was successfully received in Buenos Aires,
Bogota and Miami.
For
Leslie Gabaldon (b. 1964, Caracas, Venezuela) sense is quality that
must be defended from oblivion and unfurled no matter time nor
distance. She has shown her work in New York, Colombia, Dominican
Republic, Italy, Panama and Shanghai. In 2007 she was awarded with
the Altos de Chavón. In 2010 she was selected to be part of “Florida
Contemporary,” a biennial at the Naples Museum of Art, in Florida.
