Francine Tint is an American abstract expressionist painter based in New York City. She is known for her gestural painting style and has also worked extensively as a television and film costume designer.
Career
Art
Tint studied at the Pratt Institute and the Brooklyn Museum College.[2]
She began exhibiting her work in galleries during the 1970s. Her early paintings are characterized by gestural, lyrical brushstrokes with circling and looping motifs. In her later work, color becomes a dominant element, with increased surface tension and compositional tautness.[3]
Tint has had nearly thirty solo exhibitions and has participated in approximately fifty group shows across the United States and Europe.[4] Her work is held in the permanent collections of several institutions, including the Clement Greenberg collection at the Portland Art Museum,[1] the Krannert Art Museum in Champaign, Illinois,[5] and the Neuberger Museum of Art.
Her paintings are also in private and corporate collections such as PepsiCo[1] and Mount Sinai Hospital. She is represented by Cavalier Galleries and Denise Bibro Fine Art in New York City.[6]
A 2018 exhibition at Cavalier Galleries was featured in the print edition of D'Art International.[7]
Tint cites Antoni Tàpies, Larry Poons, Hans Hofmann, Jules Olitski, and Helen Frankenthaler as influences on her work.[1]
Costume design
Tint also worked for many years as a television and film costume designer, contributing to projects for ESPN, David Bowie, and Ridley Scott, among others.[8][9]
She has noted that her experience in costume design has influenced her painting, particularly in the layering of materials, which she compares to the layering of fabrics in fashion design.[10]
