Fratino's tender portraiture and intimate interiors evoke his own associations with the Italian landscape and cultural tradition
This volume presents a selection of work from American painter Louis Fratino, centered on his relationship with Italy, one of the artist's main cultural contexts of reference and a perspective through which to view both his artistic and his personal experience. His works evoke the landscapes, people and cultural context that animate the artist's everyday life, creating intense and erotically charged atmospheres. Alongside paintings, drawings, etchings and sculptures from the last decade, Satura includes new works providing a thorough investigation of the artist's practice. The title Satura comes from the Latin meaning of the word, referring to lanx satura, a dish filled with first fruits intended for the gods, from which descended a literary genre characterized by a variety of styles. In Italian, satura translates to saturated or filled. Both Latin and Italian meanings resonate well with the richness and formal feast of Fratino's art.
