Francine Kohn's Evolutionary Moving Pictures weave layers of unique transparent and translucent, glowing and shimmering color harmonies with glazing techniques from the Masters. Her original use of acrylic/oil colors at first glance appear as colored spaces and lines. Further viewing creates images and shapes appearing, then moving across the canvas. Each painting celebrates vignettes of passion, power and perception depicting an evolutionary passage to a new way of living. Capturing the sensory and meditative qualities of nature, Francine's work is an affirmation for the life we live.  These vibrant, organic and colorful “moving images” are the space where art, science, spirituality and magic come alive.

Their roots are in Western art, Hindustani music, Nichiren’s Buddhism, alternative ways to discover the nature of ourselves, how we perceive and reality, supra-real life experiences, and technology.

At first mind-blowing with the dynamic explosion of colors and waves of energy, many first gasp and then instinctively try to become one with the painting or multimedia experience.  The art is filled with soaring images, inviting rhythms, to become moving pictures.  Her paintings are exhibited nationally and collected internationally. She is associated with Art Rent and Lease and BlueStone Fine Art Gallery.  "Amazing", "enhance connection to spark within" are comments most often expressed by viewers.
