ChanSchatz

Eric Chan (born 1963 ) and Heather Schatz (born 1968) are artists based in New York City who worked collaboratively under the name ChanSchatz.

Chan was born in Tokyo and Schatz in Dallas. The couple make works based on information gathered from invited guests to their studio using a mixture of traditional and digital techniques.[1] The collected data is transformed into large-scale paintings and silkscreened images.[2] Their work references ideas of identity and social relationships through their openly collaborative process.[3]

The parties filed for divorce in 2015 and were parties to a suit in Federal Court in New York, New York regarding authorship rights.
