DJ, blogger, and prominent member of the Peckham squat-based collective the Children of !WOWOW!, Matthew Stone explores the disillusioned youth of the 21st century. Although his debut is ostensibly a solo endeavor, !WOWOW! is much in evidence in these dramatically large photographs, along with more than a hint of influence from baroque artists — notably Caravaggio. In With a Splintering Roar He Crashed Through the Ceiling , a starkly illuminated young woman, surrounded by rubble and body parts, gazes upward with a look of astonishment. Meanwhile, Stone's fashionable cohorts appear collapsed in a pile as burned-out party people in Boneless Bodies Decorated the Ground, Yet Considered Activity Was All Around , the artist's bleak insight into what the future holds for the nu-rave generation.
