“Francine Tint: Listening to the Sublime” at M Fine Arts Galerie, Boston (September 1 through September 30) & “Francine Tint: The Sky is a Mirror” at Upsilon Gallery, New York (September 7 through October 14): Writing about Francine Tint’s 2022 exhibition at the National Arts Club, Dana Gordon remarked how “Light glows from these paintings, and their wide expanses of dominant color grasp the viewer’s attention.” Through the use of negative space and unprimed canvas contrasted with passages of white paint, Tint’s abstract compositions permit light both to soak in and lift off the surface of her work. With concurrent exhibitions opening at M Fine Arts Galerie in Boston and Upsilon Gallery in New York, there are now two chances this season to see these compositions that balance painterly action with a studied, light-filled repose. —JP
