Louis Fratino. Satura highlights the profound connection between Fratino’s practice and Italy, a country that has offered the artist with a wide range of topics, imagery, and sensibilities: bridging relationships, emotions, and landscapes, ultimately leading to reflect upon his own art. Satura includes artworks from the past decade, alongside numerous new pieces, providing a comprehensive exploration of the artist's practice.
The works presented in this richly illustrated volume draw inspiration from Twentieth-century Italian artists such as Filippo de Pisis, Mario Mafai, Costantino Nivola, Felice Casorati, Carlo Carrà, Fausto Pirandello, and Guglielmo Janni; from the immersive experience of Italian landscapes and cities like Rome, Milan, and Genoa; and from an in-depth exploration of Italian culture, through the reading of poems by Sandro Penna, Patrizia Cavalli, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and writings by Italian gay activist Mario Mieli.
