Louis Fratino: Satura

Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci in Prato, Italy presents Louis Fratino: Satura, the first solo institutional exhibition dedicated to the work of the American artist Louis Fratino. Curated by Stefano Collicelli Cagol, Director of Centro Pecci, this exhibition follows the critically acclaimed presentation of Fratino’s paintings in a room of Adriano Pedrosa’s Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, 60th International Art Exhibition at La Biennale di Venezia.

The Latin word ‘satura’ refers to ‘Satura Lanx’, a banquet platter filled with diverse fruits intended for the Gods, a concept from which a literary genre descended – one that is characterised by a variety of styles. In Italian, ‘satura’ literally means ‘saturated’ or ‘filled’. Both Latin and Italian acceptations resonate well with the richness, subject matter and formal feast of Fratino’s art. Presenting sculptures, over 30 paintings and more than 20 drawings and lithographs, Satura at Centro Pecci is a thorough investigation of the artist’s diverse practice, bringing together works from the last decade with new works in different media.
