To someone (like this wrer) wh only a middlg knowledge of art, ’s hard not to immediately thk “gay Pisso” upon first seeg the patgs of Louis Frato, 27, the Brooklyn-based pater who’s gotten a lot of attentn om the art world recent years and jt fished up his send solo show, Morng, at New York Cy’s Sikkema Jenks & Co. Frato’s imag of hunky, furry, young gay men havg sex or lyg around, alone or together, are cidly non-naturalistic, boastg a lot of the Pissoque featur of mornism, such as body parts pated out of proportn or perspective, or broken up to cubistic ponents. From his stud Bhwick, Brooklyn, Frato talked to TheBody about patg durg a panmic, about jt how “gay” (or not) he wants his work to be, and his relatnship to an olr generatn of queer artists who ma work durg the AIDS epimic.

I don’t know if I believe that Pisso beg referenced by a straight artist is more appropriate than him beg referenced by a gay one. That’s kd of a ghettoized ia of history, where there’s hegemonic art history on one si and gay art history on the other.
Murphy: Are you fluenced by any gay artists particular?
I read some reviews that noted your work seemed to pict gay sex a ls anx, post-AIDS era. I had a teacher llege, Ken Tisa, who liv here New York, who was showg me artists who were makg work then, and I thought, “This is my direct history or leage as a gay pater.” But I also don’t know if I feel like ’s appropriate for me to portray my work a level of tragedy or anguish that I haven’t experienced. “NORE Your big homie is nng around tryg to look like a gay pater.
