"a strong visual style and narrative tendencies"
Bruce La Bruce
"[Klaus has ] ... highly trained artistic sensibilities"
The Feminist Review
" [Klaus' work ] does what breakthrough art is supposed to do: it stimulates, provokes, and challenges. It evokes a mood and attitude, by being just translucent enough to hint at a possible point of view without overt statement. "
Jim Dittmer (art critic and curator.)
"The images of Nocturnes and Nightmares have the subversion of Piss Christ and the reverence of La Pieta. It is very mesmerizing work."
Byron Beck (writer and critic)
