Eric Schultz is a found-object sculptor.  His works are the sum of their parts.  The same could be said of Schultz. Part tinkerer, recycler, organization czar, waste-hater, sci-fi junkie, animal and music lover, he’s been using lost and discarded parts—including trash—to create a range of works, from colossal robots to small animals for the past 25+ years. Throughout his work, we find wonder, humor, and intrigue in the parts—“what’s that bit there?” But Schultz is after the sum—that is, the new story that the once-discarded objects can tell, be it literary, satirical, comical, or personal.

Eric holds a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts from Temple University’s Tyler School of the Arts. His works have been shown at or are in the collections of the Noyes Museum of Art, Grounds for Sculpture, Chapin School, Lawrenceville School, the Cherry Hill Children’s Museum, and Philadelphia’s Art Gallery at City Hall.
