**Eric Wesley** (born 1973)[1] is an American artist who works with a variety of media including sculpture and painting.[2][3] He is based in Los Angeles.[4]

## Biography

Wesley was born and raised in Los Angeles, California,[5][1][3] the son of two social workers.[6] As a child, he planned to become an [aeronaturical engineer](/source/Aeronautical_engineering).[6] He earned a fine arts degree from [University of California, Los Angeles](/source/University_of_California,_Los_Angeles) in 1996.[7][8][3] While Wesley primarily works from Los Angeles, he previously had a studio in Berlin.[2][6]

Wesley's work encompasses sculpture and painting, among other media,[2][3] and have been displayed around the world. He has held solo exhibitions at galleries including the [Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles](/source/Museum_of_Contemporary_Art,_Los_Angeles) and Foundation Morra Greco, [Naples](/source/Naples), Italy.[9] He has participated in group shows at the [Hammer Museum](/source/Hammer_Museum) in Los Angeles;[10] [CAPC musée d'art contemporain](/source/CAPC_mus%C3%A9e_d'art_contemporain_de_Bordeaux), [Bordeaux](/source/Bordeaux);[11] Fundación/Colección, [Mexico City](/source/Mexico_City);[12] ARCOS Museo d’Arte, [Benevento, Italy](/source/Benevento);[citation needed] the [Prague](/source/Prague) Biennial in 2007;[13] [Institute of Contemporary Arts](/source/Institute_of_Contemporary_Arts), London;[14] [P.S. 1](/source/P.S._1_Contemporary_Art_Center), New York;[15] the [Whitney](/source/Whitney_Museum_of_American_Art), New York;[16] and the [Studio Museum](/source/Studio_Museum) in Harlem.[17] His work was part of the collection TV executive Dean Valentine donated to the Hammer Museum in 2007.[18] He has worked extensively with [China Art Objects Galleries](/source/China_Art_Objects_Galleries), [Bortolami Gallery](/source/Bortolami_(gallery)), and [Maureen Paley](/source/Maureen_Paley).[13][19] He was included on *[ArtReview](/source/ArtReview)'*s Future Greats list in 2005[20] and 2008.[21]

He is also the co-founder of Mountain School of Art (MSA) in Los Angeles,[22] an artist-run nomadic school that he opened in January 2006 with [Piero Golia](/source/Piero_Golia).[3][23][24] They accept 15 fellows annually to a three-month program. The classes are free and all staff are volunteers.[23][24] In 2008, Wesley told *[ArtReview](/source/ArtReview)* that it was less of an art school and more of "an institution patterned on the university model and devoted to general education, with a curriculum grounded in science, philosophy and law."[23]
