A visual artist originally from Paris, born in 1990, Justin Weiler lives and works in Paris. He graduated from the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Nantes in 2015 and then from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris with honors (DNSAP 2017).
He was an artist-in-residence at the Académie de France in Madrid at the Casa de Velázquez in 2019–2020. In 2016, he was awarded the City of Nantes Visual Arts Prize, the CRAC Biennale of Contemporary Art in Champigny-sur-Marne, and the Diamond Fellowship from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Since then, his work has been included in numerous public and private collections, including the Nantes Museum of Art, the FRAC des Pays de la Loire, and the Société Générale collection, among others.
His work has been featured in several exhibitions in France, such as at the Collection Lambert in Avignon during ¡Viva Villa!, as well as in China, Cyprus, Canada, Dubai, and Luxembourg. In 2022, the Mobilier National acquired three of his works to create two rugs and a tapestry. In 2023, he was named a winner of the Vitrines Yves Saint Laurent Monde, and his work was exhibited simultaneously in Maison Saint Laurent stores in New York, Los Angeles, Dubai, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Milan, Paris, London, and Seoul. The Mobilier National commissioned a monumental work from him, which was installed in February 2023 at the Élysée Palace.
