Weisberg’s artistic practice has been a profound and focused journey, investigating personal grief and loss. He has created work that seeks to transcend personal experience to speak to the universality of these themes, reminding the viewer of life’s unavoidable reality; that one day their breath too will expire. Through his work in ceramic sculpture and works on paper Weisberg has questioned how we operate and move through life knowing that we all exist in a finite capacity; trudging through Samuel Beckett’s “the mud” and “the funk of life” as described by Dr. Cornel West.

For over 20 years Weisberg has given visual form to the fragility of man, the vulnerability of the human condition and his personal reconciliation with loss through Expressionist figurative sculptures. Through his searching, questioning and resolute art making Weisberg has arrived at a place where his work now concentrates not on death, but on life. His practice is focused on sculptures which encourage contemplation and introspective actions infused with kavanah defined as “intention of the heart,” in the Jewish tradition.

Recent solo exhibitions include Swivel, and Trotter & Sholer in New York City, Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco and Paris’ Lefebvre et Fils as well as a two person show with Alice Mackler at Kerry Schuss Gallery in Tribeca, New York. Weisberg has also been selected for residencies including the Sharpe Walentas Studio in Brooklyn, the Residency Program in Versailles, France, Ceramica Suro in Guadalajara, Mexico and most recently Mimar Sinan University, Istanbul. His work is held in collections worldwide including The Bunker in West Palm Beach, Ceramica Suro in Guadalajara, the American Museum of Ceramic Art in Pomona, California and the Rhode Island School of Art and Design in Providence, Rhode Island.

Weisberg was born in 1983 and received a BFA from California College of Arts and Crafts. He currently teaches at Greenwich House Pottery and Columbia Teachers College and lives and works in Queens, NY.
