Stuckism

Stuckism is a British art Movement founded in 1999 by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson to promote figurative painting in opposition to conceptual art. The Stuckists formed as an alternative to the Charles Saatchi-patronised Young British Artists (also known as Brit Art).

The name Stuckism was coined by Thomson in response to a comment, made by artist Tracey Emin to Childish, then her boyfriend, which he had recorded in a poem as:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Your paintings are stuck,

:you are stuck!

:Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!
