BACK TO THE PAST INTO THE FUTURE: Louis Fratino, Salman Toor, Anthony Cudahy.

The article features queer painters Louis Fratino, Salmon Toor and Anthony Cudahy. Fratino, Toor, and Cudahy have distinguished their work from that of their peers and predecessors with a winning combination of shared traits including a deep engagement with art history, an open matter-of-fact, yet largely unpolemical queerness, and a sidestepping of realist styles based on observation or photography in favour of far more pictorial models. An overview of their work is offered.
