Stuckism is a British Art Movement of the (1990s & 2000s), founded by Billy Childish and Charles Thomson. The name was coined by Thomson in response to the following comment, made by artist Tracey Emin to Childish, her then-boyfriend:
- Your art is stuck! Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!
- Tracey Emin
The Stuckists formed as an alternative to the Young British Artists (also known as "Brit Art") being patronised by Charles Saatchi. The group are defined by their Stuckist Manifesto that places great importance on the values of traditional artistic skills over the popularity of "easy" installation pieces, and oppose modernism (at least as it is presently practiced in art).
The Stuckists later declared that they aimed to replace postmodernism with remodernism.
The Stuckists have become more active in recent years and have broadened their ideological basis. They even put forward a Stuckist candidate, Charles Thomson, for the 2001 British General Election.
