Dream life of angels, 2009, acrylic on canvas, 30x78 inches
‘Winter White’ exhibition is open from January 7 through January 21, 2010.
The resulting painting, sculpture and mixed media vary in style and form, yet have unifying theme of color which creates a harmonious scene that bursts with variety and energy. The artists bring their own skill set and aesthetic to their work, so the effects range from calming to provocative to thrilling. The full spectrum of white is represented, so the exhibition does not feel monochromatic or one-dimensional, but rather rich, textured and layered. Among the eight artists was Francine Tint whose work is a beautiful and subdued painting.
It’s mutely eloquent, the way good abstract expressionism can be, without being overwhelming. The tight range of values holds the whole thing together and the width is just enough to encompass your field of view and hold you there. It’s equal parts restraint and abandon — close hues slapped on wildly — and it works.
