Work

Fratino’s paintings and drawings of interior spaces, intimacy, and sex are portrayed in the visual language of early 20th-century modernists, such as Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Marsden Hartley.^[4] He also draws inspiration from children's books illustrators and painters such as Maurice Sendak, Ben Shahn, and Dahlov Ipcar as well as gay-historical photography and ephemera such as Vince Aletti's Male.^[5] Fratino's tactic of painting often pushes the viewer to gaze beyond the immediate homosexual subject(s), challenging and balancing the limits of social understandings of homosexuality and emphasizing the real-life relationships and narratives that underscore the gay experience.^[6]

Fratino's paintings and drawings have been met with positive reviews with both critics and collectors alike. Art critic Holland Carter writes of Fratino's paintings, "Seemingly painted mostly in the same interior, they are also hot with the pleasure of lying-around-the-house domesticity, of shared privacy. And they are hot too with painterly attention and erudition — inviting a similar scrutiny from the viewer. Nearly every brush stroke and mark, every detail of furnishings and body hair, has a life of its own."^[7] Similarly, Antwaun Sargent writes in The New York Times, "Fratino and these other contemporary gay figure artists share a philosophy, despite their different aesthetics: They’re all committed to reflecting the mostly unseen interior lives of the men they admire, and to celebrating a diverse set of subjects who, taken together, stand in opposition to a canonical history of art that has long ignored an openly gay view of the male body."^[8]
