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

Chan was born in [Tokyo](/source/Tokyo) and Schatz in [Dallas](/source/Dallas). The couple make works based on information gathered from invited guests to their studio using a mixture of traditional and [digital](/source/Digital_data) techniques.[1] The collected data is transformed into large-scale [paintings](/source/Painting) and [silkscreened](/source/Silkscreen) 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.[\[1\]](https://itsartlaw.com/2017/06/28/post-co-authorship-and-past-congeniality-creative-relationship-spoils/)
