Louis Fratino’s Head is a vivid and introspective portrait that captures the expressive power of the male face through bold lines and layered pastel tones. The artwork’s direct gaze and asymmetrical use of colour—particularly the split between light and shadow—imbue it with psychological complexity. Fratino’s handling of form and texture, combined with the intimate scale, is emblematic of his practice, where emotional resonance and queer identity are central. This portrait continues his exploration of individuality and human presence, marking it as a characteristic piece within his deeply personal and figuratively rich body of work.
