LONDON, ENGLAND.- They call themselves “stuckists”, they don´t like conceptual and post modern art but go back to figurative painting. Their aim is set straight on the tate´s director, Sir Nicholas Serota. The stuckists will hold their first exhibit in London and they openly laugh at Serota´s inclination toward avant garde experimentalism which has dominated most of his recent exhibits.

One of the main paintings in the show was made by one of the leaders of this group, painter Charles Thomson, and it shows Serota examining red underwear hanging on a line in a direct allusion to Tracey Ermin´s work of art that was considered as a Turner Prize finalist. The pivotal painting 'Sir Nicholas Serota Makes An Acquisitions Decision where the director is depicted enquiring 'Is it a genuine Emin (£10,000) or a worthless fake?'

The movement was named after a comment made by Tracey Emin about her then boyfriend, Billy Childish - also a Stuckist Founder. She said he was 'stuck stuck stuck' in his artistic tastes. The show is called Go West and opens at the Spectrum Gallery in October.
