Scope note
Refers to the art group co founded in 1999 by British artists Charles Thomson and Billy Childish, along with eleven other artists. The term 'Stuckist' was derived from fellow artist Tracey Emin's criticisms of Childish's paintings as 'Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!' The movement calls for a return to painting and the authenticity of direct expression. Rejecting postmodernism as a marketing tool that denies emotion or content, the Stuckists promote a form of 'Remodernism', where spirituality can counteract prevalent skepticism and nihilism.
