Did You Know?

Winterberries reveals Fratino’s painterly approach to printmaking, using a process similar to mezzotint in which a dark layer of aquatint is applied across the plate before being carefully scraped back to create light, depth and texture. Drypoint detailing adds further pattern and definition, while the deliberately worked surface gives the print the character of a painting. Most notably, the composition originates from a personal photograph taken in Fratino’s home over Christmas, capturing a man’s face partially obscured by a vase of winterberries, roses and pine branches.
