Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him doth fade, but
Doth suffer a sea change into something
Rich and strange.

About me: Matthew Bone was born into and reared by a clan of Tuscan Raiders in Los Angeles . Raised on a diet of comic books, horror movies, and pornography, Matthew injects a distinctive voice into his painting. Pride, lust, vengeance, the lurid underbelly of humanity, and the allegories that illustrate the consequences of it's revelation has long been the focus of Matthew Bone's work. By utilizing the conventions of pop culture, and it's willingness to embrace the artifice as the sincere, Matthew is able to create a reinvisioned modern mythology. Matthew's work can be seen internationally. He lives with his wife and two pugs under a bridge in Hollywood , CA .
