Notes
"The figure has been a central preoccupation in Schütz's work and his continuous engagement with the human form points to his deep interest in sculptural traditions of figurative woodcarving. In his work we see the medium of wood used as a vehicle of wit and humour, but also of contemplation and commentary on the human condition and the reciprocity between man and nature. The emotional power of Schütz's artworks lies in his personal animation of popular imagery, rendering the specific image vividly present through the act of carving."
