“I make paintings of the people I love, from memory. I want to make work that is tender and generous and optimistic.”

-Louis Fratino, 2019

Sleeping Tom, morning light, like many of Fratino’s works, presents a highly stylized and sexualized image of a man. His shading, contour, and application of paint creates a tactile quality that exaggerates this eroticization.
