Louis Fratino’s Moon Hug (2018) is an intimate and tender drawing capturing two male figures entwined in a loving embrace beneath a glowing moon. Rendered in soft pastels and rhythmic curves, the work conveys emotional depth through sensual forms and radiant colours. This piece reflects Fratino’s ongoing celebration of queer intimacy, identity, and vulnerability, often depicted with warmth and poetic symbolism. Characteristic of his oeuvre, Moon Hug continues his exploration of personal narratives and the male form, combining classical drawing techniques with contemporary, emotionally resonant subject matter. The small scale enhances its sense of privacy and closeness.
