In a recent review of the artist's work in The New York Times, author Antwaun Sargent wrotes, "Fratino [born 1993] and these other contemporary gay figure artists share a philosophy, despite their different aesthetics: They're all committed to reflecting the mostly unseen interior lives of the men they admire, and to celebrating a diverse set of subjects who, taken together, stand in opposition to a canonical history of art that has long ignored an openly gay view of the male body."
