Eric Charlton serves as Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Millsaps College, where his practice interrogates humanity's search for meaning against cosmic insignificance and everyday banality through an open studio methodology centered on objecthood and existential absurdity.
His academic credentials include:
- B.F.A. in Studio Art from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania
- M.F.A. in Studio Art from Syracuse University
Charlton's creative research spans Conceptual and Contemporary Art with technical mastery in Sculpture, Drawing, Animation, and Digital Fabrication. His international exhibition history features the CICA Museum (Gimpo, South Korea), Miami University Young Sculptors Competition (Ohio), and Das Giftraum (Berlin), demonstrating cross-cultural engagement with material philosophy. Artist residencies at Turner Residency (Los Angeles) and Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts (Maine) inform his experimental approach to form and meaning-making.
Professional activities emphasize material exploration through residencies and global exhibitions rather than traditional academic advising or grant-funded research, reflecting his studio-based artistic practice.
