MENUFROM THE MAGAZINEPainting the World As They See ItThe artists Louis Fratino
and Anna Weyant are bringing a fresh perspective to figurative work
Louis Fratino in his Queens studio in front of various works in progress
Fratino wears a Connor McKnight shirt and pants; Dior Men’s turtleneck; Church’s shoes; his own glasses
Grooming: Remi Odunsi for R+co and Chanel Beauty; photo assistant: Janelle Jones..zone-213105890{--cardCount:3}Louis FratinoLouis Fratino has made a name for himself with his sensitive figurative paintings of male nudes that are loving
and unabashed in their depiction of gay sexuality and desire
But at a solo exhibition at New York’s Sikkema Jenkins & Co
hung alongside less expected subject matter: a shadowy bird overtaking most of a nighttime composition; fish and an octopus on ice at a market; a bucolic backyard warmed by the sun
and images of animals did not signal an abandonment of the ethos behind the Brooklyn-based 27-year-old’s depictions of gay life
Fratino asserts that the expanded subjects “are about trying to get closer to a concept of queerness.”
Standing in the converted ironworks foundry that serves as his studio
Fratino explains that these departures from the body are intentionally “harder to pin down,” noting that he had occasionally begun to feel like he was performing a certain idea of gay artistic identity
“The new paintings flip the question back onto the viewer
what do you actually need to see to identify or celebrate something as queer?’ ”
who grew up in southern Maryland and moved to New York in 2016
Fratino’s process begins with “almost automatic” sketches
usually based on a -recollection or a feeling
enlivening them with color and gesture on canvas
he sometimes asks Barger for input on shades
While attending the Maryland Institute College of Art
where he studied painting and minored in illustration
Fratino received the Yale Norfolk Painting Fellowship
he went on a Fulbright scholarship to Berlin
he brought his figures into three dimensions as terracotta wall sculptures
He was 22 when he had his first New York solo exhibition
and he now shows regularly with Sikkema Jenkins
his first museum show will open at the Des Moines Art Center
a far cry from the cosmopolitan and permissive art centers of Europe and the East Coast
and the experience of queer people there is probably really different than here,” Fratino says
but it’s going to be a privilege to be able to show in a context where I think the meaning of the work will change.”
describes Fratino’s work as both earnest and poetic
the quotes of his evident artistic passions and readings—they allow us to live some instants of Louis’s own private life
which is what makes his work so unique today,” Levi says
Fratino respects the lineage of painting history
but also seeks to contend with it; Picasso is a predecessor often cited by observers of Fratino’s work
There are similarities in the tilted and angular heads
The Italian futurists also come to mind: The contours of the legs of two men spooning in The Sleepers
with objects and inset “photographs” arranged and contained like items in a Joseph Cornell box
there are traces of early American modernists—Arthur Dove
where you can manifest something through it
whether it’s something as simple as doing the dishes
or feeling close to your family,” Fratino says
He wonders whether painting might not affect our perception of the present the same way memories do
“Maybe this is kind of a silly way of talking about it
but it’s like you see or make this painting of dishes that you love
a painting in which a drop of water is suspended midfall from the tap
and a flower is arranged in an empty tomato can next to bowls and forks and cups waiting to be washed
that simple image serves as proof that everyday life can be
“stranger and more beautiful than what you could imagine.” DREW ZEIBA
where you can manifest something through it,” Fratino says
“Whether it’s something as simple as doing the dishes
.zone-213105891{--cardCount:4}María BerríoGrowing up in Colombia in the ’80s and ’90s
during the years of insurgency and drug wars
María Berrío turned to myths and legends to help her find hope and meaning in a nasty world
“There was always fantasy,” says the artist
whose childhood was divided between Bogotá and a farm where her parents took the family for safety
And it came from being in a place where nothing worked
like the separation of families on the border
that are not lost on a Latin American immigrant who is also a mother
And the flailing response to the coronavirus pandemic attests to existential damage at a global scale
I dig into those needs and beliefs,” she says
Berrío makes large-scale works with a mood of reverie
There are also unruly blossoms of bougainvillea; tigers
owls; mystical landscapes with mountain ridges and umbrella-like Socotra dragon trees
as well: flowers in vases contrasting with a sofa’s upholstery
or barren decors with empty shelves that cry out loss
She calls the pieces “paintings,” which they seem to be from afar
they are collages of a very particular kind
plant-dyed Japanese paper that she obtains from a master artisan in Osaka
Each artwork involves thousands of tiny pieces of paper that she cuts
She uses watercolors to fine-tune nuance and tone
The women and girls who populate her scenes are imaginary but intimately felt: The artist bases them on herself
and on the host of female figures who gather in her mind
whether drawn from her memories of Colombia or from documentary research
“I want to project the courage and the strength
She moved to New York for art school and completed degrees at Parsons School of Design and the School of Visual Arts
She found her collage technique later and has refined it for nearly a decade
experimenting with different types of paper before landing on her Japanese supplier
when she was selected for the Prospect 4 triennial
which migrants ride through Mexico to the U.S
Women cluster with animals and birds in scenes that convey the bravery and peril of the migration experience
“Her work has this connection between humanity and nature,” says Trevor Schoonmaker
the triennial’s curator and now the director of the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University
“She makes it clear that we’re all part of the same ecosystem.”
Berrío is currently enjoying her first solo museum show
in which she imagined the lives of women in a Colombian fishing village that had been depleted of its men through some catastrophe
The pandemic arrived while she was making this work
“There’s this extraordinary empathy,” says Cheryl Brutvan
the Norton’s director of curatorial affairs
At her studio, Berrío, who is invariably warm and gracious, points to a pile of art books that have inspired her lately. “I feel like you have to have the spirits present,” she says. The range spans Lucian Freud to David Hockney, Kerry James Marshall to Jordan Casteel
The Indian interiors in the photography of Dayanita Singh remind her of architecture in Colombia
The Spanish painter Antonio López García fascinates her for his command of watercolor
Sheets of colored Japanese paper lie on a table
Their standard use in Japan is for lamps and for wrapping gifts
She and her supplier have no common language
but he insists on showing her each sheet over Skype for her to approve
“I have to go through the ritual,” she says
“It feels like a collaboration.” The plant dyes lend the paper a watercolorlike subtlety
so that her own cutting and collaging process
has aspects of both transformation and a cycle being completed
Berrío’s method sets her apart from much of the collage tradition in the lineage of artists such as Hannah Höch
with their use of photomontage and an array of original and found materials
Her works share some energy with those of Wangechi Mutu and Njideka Akunyili Crosby
other female hybrid collagists with Global South roots and migration stories
One piece in the studio is nearly complete
It shows three women enjoying a card game on a patio backed by a turbulence of plants in bloom
drawn from memories of women Berrío saw at flower markets in Colombia
with red flowers embroidered on its collar
this blurred memory—I like it when it infuses the work in this way.” SIDDHARTHA MITTER

.zone-213105892{--cardCount:4}Anna WeyantThe preteen and teenage years are both the most frivolous and the most intense periods of human experience
but the vocabulary and maturity to express it is often just out of reach
glances and gestures do the talking—often with muddled
The 25-year-old artist Anna Weyant explores the discomfort and naivete of that age in her glumly hued
often featuring women who closely resemble the artist and her friends
Sometimes presented as different chapters of the same narrative
Weyant’s compositions chart the mischievous self-discovery of someone anxiously sidling through spaces that are half memory
with her inclusion in the group show “Of Purism,” at Nina Johnson gallery in Miami
curated by the multidisciplinary design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero
could quickly be read as an odalisque for the Pilates-practicing Instagrammer
Reclining in a bathrobe with a leg in the air
she poses for someone (likely another woman) just out of sight
whose presence is indicated only by a handheld iPhone reflected in a gilt oval mirror
The room she is in is minimally but sumptuously decorated
dark olive walls with a repeating diamond pattern subtly hinting at the padded walls of a mental institution
Right behind the shoulder of Weyant’s odalisque are peonies in the same shade
very little is going on in these paintings
but the ambiguity of Weyant’s figures can still hold the viewer in steady and consistent conversation
her head about to crash down on the step below her
“This image is derived from my own thoughts and experiences,” Weyant says
reclining in a corner of her apartment (a spare
sunlit space that doubles as her studio) on New York’s Upper West Side
even though she’s inches away from her demise.”
Playing with scenarios that frighten her gives Weyant a feeling of control
A sense of macabre humor both tempers and heightens the emotional intensity of her subject matter
but I don’t want them to be a joke,” she says
she had no plans to share the finished product with anyone but her friends and family
but she eventually started working with the Lower East Side gallery 56 Henry
after an introduction by Talmadge in 2018 (she showed with the gallery a year later but is not represented by them)
Weyant’s paintings—with their references to Dutch masters like Frans Hals, Gerrit van Honthorst, and Judith Leyster, as well as to contemporary artists like John Currin, Ellen Berkenblit, and Lisa Yuskavage—soon garnered a following
Weyant will have a solo show at Blum & Poe in Los Angeles
“Anna is clearly extremely gifted as a painter,” says Tim Blum
the gifts of painting are coupled with an inherent self-awareness
She’s just going to get more and more complicated in all the best ways.”
Weyant is still getting used to the exposure
She often paints family and loved ones into her pictures
but her only model during the pandemic has been herself
and the large-scale results of those introspective months will be on view at Blum & Poe
“I love the idea of having these sorts of desperate and feeble characters be
“But I think of the paintings as little pages in my diary
so it’s difficult to have people reading them.” CAMILLE OKHIO

“So it’s difficult to have people reading them.”

Fun fact: It is the highest rated Savona attraction on TripAdvisor
and Daniele Panucci in collaboration with Francesca Anfossi
a solo exhibition by Tommaso Corvi Mora curated by Daniele Panucci with critical contributions by Irene Biolchini and Luca Bochicchio
are the two exhibitions on view at the until Feb
The two projects deepen the research that the Savona-based museum is conducting on the most recent developments in contemporary ceramic art in relation to the artisanal and productive fabric of Savona and the Albisole
Following the success of Lam et Les Magiciens de la Mer
the first Italian exhibition dedicated to the ceramic work of Cuban Wifredo Lam
the Museo della Ceramica shifts the spotlight to London.The two exhibitions present
the work of Anfossi and Corvi Mora-both Italian artists who have been active in the United Kingdom for decades-created as part of two separate residencies held in local workshops and laboratories
investigating the different modes of expression with which the two artists explore the fabric of relationships and processes of sharing and experience
At the heart of the project A tavola con Rochester Square (Francesca Anfossi
Paulina Michnowska and Lex Franchi) curated by Alessio Cotena
Marco Isaia and Daniele Panucci is the social and convivial vision of ceramic art that the London-based studio led by Francesca Anfossi (Genoa
On the fourth and fifth floors and on the terrace of the Savona Ceramics Museum are the collective works designed by Rochester Square artists - Francesca Anfossi (IT)
Paulina Michnowska (UK) and Lex Franchi (UK) - during a residency organized in late August
by the Exhibitions and Educational Programs departments of the Savona museum
Professional and nonprofessional ceramists
brought the exhibition’s design to life
with the support of local artisan workshops and creative centers
the Municipal School of Ceramics of Albisola Superiore
Casa Museo Jorn and the Ceramics Museum workshop
On display are terracotta stools made by Rochester Square artists
along with earthenware and straw pots inspired by museum collections
decorated tableware and lathe-made containers dedicated to food fermentation
The terrace houses large vases made from plaster casts in homage to the International Movement for an Imaginist Bauhaus
The main room is set up like a banquet: bread sculptures are installed on the walls
and the works are displayed around a large table handmade by children during summer workshops
which at the opening was transformed into a real table set for guests to enjoy art in all senses
The top floor of the museum was repurposed as a workshop where for the duration of the exhibition the public could try their hand at making sculptures for the earth garden set up on the terrace and intended to transport the atmosphere of the Rochester Square nursery from London to the heart of Savona
It has a more intimate character Diario di Tommaso Corvi Mora curated by Daniele Panucci with critical contributions by Irene Biolchini and Luca Bochicchio: a diffuse exhibition that is hosted by the Museum of Ceramics in Savona
the Laundry in Albissola Marina - home of the Angelo Ruga Cultural Association
The project originated in 2021 from an idea by Irene Biolchini
and investigates the artist’s practice in his intimate and everyday universe through the expressive media of drawing
with which Corvi Mora has been dealing since 2009
Diary presents works made during the residencies he had in the last two years within the Albisola-based manufactures Ceramiche San Giorgio and Studio Ernan Design
ceramic slabs with explicit references to the artist’s experience
some plates and a series of coat hangers-an object with a liminal position that welcomes and accommiates-a tribute to the work of Luciano Fabro
and works dedicated to Albisola inspired by the graphics elaborated by Milton Glaser for the city of New York
Flanking them is a series of weavings testifying to the genesis of the project
Also enriching the exhibition are a number of photographs taken in 1988 that develop the artist’s reflections on everyday life
time conceived as the raw material of the work
current events and the relationship between the public and private spheres
Several ceramics have also been “entrusted to the city,” left on the streets of Albissola Marina
available to the public who can take them in and insert them into the flow of everyday life
At Table with Rochester Square is a project of the Museum of Ceramics in Savona
carried out in collaboration with Francesca Anfossi’s Rochester Square studio
Diary is a project coordinated by the Angelo Ruga Association
realized with contributions from the De Mari Foundation and the City of Albissola Marina
in collaboration with the Museum of Ceramics Savona

"I am particularly happy about this collaboration," explains Francesca Anfossi
"the first for me and Rochester Square with a museum institution
to tell the artistic but also social value of ceramics
inclusive material that can be humble and at the same time very sophisticated
So versatile that it can create extraordinary sculptures and
be used every day for the most common activities
“I started working on this exhibition in January 2021 during the longest lockdown I have had in the UK,” explains Tommaso Corvi Mora
“creating weavings on a small loom to be held on my lap
The abstract motifs represented in these works are linked to intimate narratives
and reflections stimulated by the repetition of the weaving gesture
the connection of this practice with ceramics
What they have in common is the simplicity
the everydayness and the ”non-artistry“ of the final object.”
