Stuckism started
with an insult, in which conceptual artist Tracey Emin accused her artist boyfriend Billy Childish of
being stuck (presumably because he was still producing figurative paintings, instead of
installations, performances and videos, etc). Childish must have decided he was happy being
stuck because, together with Charles Thomson, he founded the Stuckists. The term Stuckism
was coined by Thomson from a reference to the insult in Childish's poem. Stuckism is a radical
movement which is for Figurative Painting and against Conceptual Art. Stuckism values self-
expression and adopts a holistic approach to art.
