This screen print is derived from one of Matt Small's paintings which dispense with many of the conventions of portraiture, including the consent of the subject. Filming strangers on the street without their knowledge Small then abstracts faces from the resulting videos as source material for his monumentally-sized paintings in found materials such as leftover household or industrial paints on scrap metal, slabs of concrete or pieces of discarded furniture from skips. To re-personalise the anonymous individuals he gives them first names of his own choosing - many of them with scriptural associations. The effect is to imbue his larger-than-life images of mostly black and Asian youth presenting a direct, even confrontational, gaze with an unexpected pathos and tenderness which implicitly questions many of the assumptions at work in current debates about 'feral youth', anti-social behaviour and gang culture.
