This article delves into the rising success of American painter Louis Fratino, highlighting his unique style, critical acclaim, and impressive sales record. It explores his artistic influences, the themes explored in his work, and his upcoming exhibition at the Centro Pecci in Tuscany.
Louis Fratino ’s paintings cover intense and often tender nudes, tables laden with artefacts, tangled limbs and sex, portraits of his mother and still lifes of flowers from his garden in Brooklyn. Aged only 30, the American has already been compared to Picasso, Pierre Bonnard and Lucian Freud. His first small show, With everyone, at Thierry Goldberg in New York in 2016, sold out.
’” We take a tour of his studio: there’s a frenzied landscape of locust trees he saw in Chelsea last autumn; a nude based on a photo he took in Greenpoint two weekends ago “that happened very quickly”; a “landscape-ish thing” that nods to Turner; a “ Gnoli-esque self-portrait” and the beginnings of a subway painting in menacing greys inspired by The Torturers by Edward Burra. “It’s so shocking to me how few people know his work,” he says. He stops at a nude he’s “pretty jazzed about”.
