Eric Schultz's "Robo 3000 (Lewis)" and "Galaxy 500" greets visitors to the Salon des Refuses.A life-size robot made from old metal parts lights up when plugged in, and his robot dog wags its tail.Mr. Schultz, 31, works for J. Seward Johnson Jr. in his Sculpture Foundation, and is a big fan of science fiction movies, such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Star Wars.He has his own studio at Grounds For Sculpture, where he works from found metal."Robo" and "Galaxy" were the first he made, but he recently stripped them down and remade them for this show."It came from my father being a mechanic and my mother being a nurse, and somewhere in the middle I became an artist," he says."I always enjoyed anatomy and copying the human form.I wanted to make a dog that I didn't have to walk and he'd still wag his tail."Mr. Schultz says a lot of people think of robots as something to do work, but he wants to set the record straight and make robots that are pure fun.The Salon des Refuses is literally hung salon style, and it, too, runs the gamut, from Mr. Schultz's work to classical realism in ornate frames that look as if they'd hung in the Louvre, to two more works by Jules Schaeffer, one made from his old ties and another made from his old shoes.

Born in Trenton, NJ in 1976, Eric Schultz began his artistic journey as a tinkerer and a character with eccentric creativity. Mr. Schultz's knowledge of the creative process stems from many sources: private lessons, schools, other artists and the recognizing the opportunity presented to him by his surroundings and incorporating the processes he found appropriate.

Schultz attended Pennsylvania Governor's School for the Arts and received his BA in Fine Arts from Temple University Tyler School of Art in 2000. Teaching "found object" art classes at The Garden State Discovery Museum and his work at Grounds for Sculpture laid the groundwork for his current body of work. Schultz is currently employed at The Sculpture Foundation in Trenton, where he creates and installs major traveling sculpture exhibitions for J. Seward Johnson and the Grounds for Sculpture.

Schultz's found object sculptures are displayed in various private collections, gallery exhibitions and museums.
