Stuckism is a radical art movement that was founded in London in the 1999. To advance new figurative painting with ideas as the most vital artistic means of addressing contemporary issues.
The name stuckism was derived, in the best art historical tradition, from an insult, in this case 1999 Turner Prize Nominee, Tracey Emin, to ex boyfriend, Billy Childish: 'Your paintings are stuck, you are stuck, Stuck!, Stuck!, Stuck!
This was quoted in a poem by Billy Childish. Charles Thompson subsequently coined the term Stuckism and proposed joining forces to found a group. The most important ideas behind this incentive are contained in a co-written manifesto, The Stuckists.
