Louis Fratino’s Red Figure (2017) is a poised and intimate line drawing that portrays a nude male figure seated in a meditative pose, rendered in warm red ink. With delicate yet confident contour lines, Fratino conveys vulnerability, sensuality, and emotional presence through a minimalist composition. The intertwining limbs and stylised features suggest both classical influence and modern intimacy, echoing his broader interest in art history and queer identity. This work is typical of Fratino’s practice, where male figures are celebrated with tenderness and quiet introspection, using line as a vehicle for both aesthetic clarity and personal storytelling.
