In "Fracture", Alyson furthers her exploration of the urban environ through a series
of modular panels. Reminiscent of windows, openings and barriers, the sixteen
panels share a common palette and were originally conceived as a singular work
that could be adapted to multiple configurations. An attention to the physical
immediacy of paint combined with strong, gestural expressiveness are hallmarks
of Schultz's work. "Fracture" demonstrates an evolution toward a personal,
evocative terrain.

Alyson Schultz studied painting and printmaking at The School of the Museum of
Fine Arts, Boston, graduating with her Masters in the early 1980s. Since then, she
has been an active presence in the Boston art community, an original member of
the Brickbottom Artist building, and she currently maintains a studio on Vernon
Street.
