"Maybe it's the fact I've been obsessed with the Martin Ramirez exhibition at Ricco Maresca as of late, but Schatz's works really stood out as another skilled set comparison to the Mexican master. The depth of space that is explored is fantastic. I felt as if I was standing on the highest mountaintop in New Hampshire, gazing out at the scope of the horizon of the White Mountains lying before me. Schatz achieves his sinnewy lines through utilizing his fingers as part of his brushwork. There's so much at play here. The way it references different pathways, as well as the natural realm. Another interpretation could be wafts of billowing smoke going to and fro. I felt the strongest work (if not of the individual artist, but also the entire show) was this piece-- a work on panel, as opposed to the other works on paper, which were still strong. You can really see how the edges of Schatz's loops push the paint out with the turn of each curve. The very nature of the panel piece really stood out at me, for here was true captive motion." - Olympia Lambert, Oly's Musings, review of Unbreak My Heart, Pluto Gallery, Brooklyn, November 2008
"This painting demonstrates the artist's abiding interest in sensory experience: the activated surface references touch and motion; the complementary colors blue and orange vibrate optically, the matrix of musical staves alludes to sound. A record of a complex set of movements, the work holds in tension the themes of ephemerality and infinity. The title confirms these connotations: together, the German word immer ('forever' or 'always') and wellsprung (a neologistic variant of 'spring' or 'source') imply an endless - but constantly changing - supply of energy that expands in perpetuity." - Jonathan Frederick Walz, Curator of American Art, Sheldon Museum of Art
