Francine Tint

Francine Tint is a New York-based painter whose career spans over five decades. Known for her powerful commitment to abstraction, Tint creates works that combine bold, intuitive gesture with a distinctive and often unexpected sense of colour. Ranging in scale from intimate compositions to monumental canvases nearly 20 feet in width, her paintings channel an immediate and emotionally resonant energy through sweeping, layered brushwork, at times lyrical and fluid, at others raw and rapid. 

Francine Tint (b.1943, New York, NY) studied painting at Pratt Institute as well as the Brooklyn Museum College. She originally worked as a successful costume designer and stylist, collaborating with entertainment icons such as David Bowie and Ridley Scott, and later dedicated herself fully to painting. Tint’s work has been widely exhibited in the United States and abroad and is included in the permanent collections of more than 28 museums, including the Neuberger Museum of Art, New York; the Heckscher Museum of Art, New York; the Portland Museum of Art (Clement Greenberg Collection), Portland; and the Krannert Art Museum, Illinois. She continues to paint in New York City, where she also leads abstract painting workshops at the Art Students League. She lives and works in New York, NY.
