Part three describes the Stuckists' line of argument as "devastating in its capacity to demolish the pretensions of Conceptualism" and cites Damien Hirst's observation that "The best spot painting you can have by me is one painted by Rachel" (one of Hirst's assistants).
O'Keefe's conclusion remains undecided as to "whether the Momart warehouse blaze indeed represents the funeral pyre of BritArt" and as to the future of Stuckism's role "from its outpost on the edge".

Stuckist pronouncements such as "artists who don't paint aren't artists" seem intended to be provocative, at least as much as taken seriously.
The Stuckists are faced with the theoretical problem of identifying art fundamentally with painting, yet with distinguishing their own kind of painting from popular traditional painting which has been around a lot longer and which is comparatively ubiquitous.
The Stuckists disparage the adulation accorded to Joseph Beuys for his insight that all people are really artists, yet go on to state that the reason for doing art is "participation in the universal creative process".

The Stuckists formed as an alternative to the Charles Saatchi[?]-patronised Young British Artists (also known as "Brit Art").
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 have become more active in recent years and have broadened their ideological basis.

The group are defined by their Stuckist Manifesto that places great importance on the values of painting as a medium and the use of it for communication and the expression of emotion and experience - as opposed to the novelty of conceptual art.
The Stuckists gained significant media coverage for five years of protests (2000-2004)outside Tate Britain against the Turner Prize, sometimes dressed as clowns.
The Stuckists Punk Victorian, a major show at the Walker Art Gallery as part of the 2004 Liverpool Biennial, marked a significant step to acceptance with the first exhibition in a national gallery.

 Stuckists, scourge of BritArt, put on their own exhibition Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
Now the Stuckists, the group of figurative painters who oppose conceptual art, are to use their first-ever show in a commercial West End gallery to further ridicule the Tate director.
Mr Thomson, the group's co-founder, described the exhibition as "a major development" in the recognition of the Stuckist movement and said the continuing feud with Sir Nicholas was part of a "battle of ideas" about what is important in art.
It was the Stuckists who first exposed the Tate's improper payment of pounds 700,000 to Chris Ofili, one of the Tate's trustees, which led to the gallery being censured by the Charity Commission last month.

 Stuckists Tell Saatchi And Hirst "A Dead Shark Isn't Art"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The new bankside art gallery needs no introduction and neither does one of its most notorious exhibits, but what the Stuckists want to do is not only question Damien Hirst's work, but to confront the basis of the conceptual art that he and Mr Saatchi have helped make famous.
Stuckist founder Charles Thomson told the 24 Hour Museum how he had noticed the shark a while ago, but waited until the opening of the new Saatchi Gallery to put it on display.
By putting the shark on display, the Stuckists are making a point by questioning our methods of attributing value to a work of art, as well as asking how we define something as a work of art.

 Stuckism
Notwithstanding their fllisting of many of their British counterparts, the Stuckists hold in greatest contempt not so much the Hirsts and Ofilis of their generation but the educational establishment which fostered them and the Saachis and government subsidies which have isolated such artists from the "real" world of human artistic expression.
Stuckists call for all art education institutions to make their facilities and faculties available during off-hours for the enrichment of the community at large.
Stuckists take as their motto, "We only denounce that which stops at the starting point - Stuckism starts at the stopping point." As a self-confessed Postmodernist, I'd make no claim to being a Stuckist, but I do get stuck pretty often.

The Stuckist is not mesmerised by the glittering prizes, but is wholeheartedly engaged in the process of painting.
It is the Stuckist's duty to explore his/her neurosis and innocence through the making of paintings and displaying them in public, thereby enriching society by giving shared form to individual experience and an individual form to shared experience.
The Stuckist is not a career artist but rather an amateur (amare, Latin, to love) who takes risks on the canvas rather than hiding behind ready–made objects (e.g.

 ART FOR A CHANGE: Stuckists at CBGB’s
The Stuckists not only struggle to place figurative painting back on center stage in the world of art (an endeavor I philosophically and materially support), they’re also determined to undermine the dominant "postmodernist" school of art and its institutions - an undertaking I also champion.
The Stuckists insist it’s not painting that’s become passé - it’s the lifeless and socially detached world of postmodernist art that has become outmoded.
While the work of the current crop of Stuckist artists may not be to everyone’s liking, they represent a vanguard that has breached the walls of modern art, opening the way for a return to realistic painting based on contemporary experience.

Unlike the Gorilla Girls, however, the Stuckists have not been content to be an anonymous collective, wearing masks for their public appearances.
Basically what the Stuckists want is recognition as individual creative artists, who have chosen to make art by methods that are, to the layman’s eye at least, traditional – hence their collective name, which acknowledges the fact that their opponents see them as being ‘stuck’ in the past.
In this sense, one of the ancestors of the Stuckists is Courbet.

If the stuckists go down in art history, and the jury is still out as to whether they will, Sir Nicholas Serota Makes an Acquisitions Decision by stuckist co-founder Charles Thomson may well become their signature piece.
Only this month the stuckists declared "victory" after the Charity Commission criticised the Tate (their biggest bugbear) for buying a £700,000 work off Chris Ofili when he was a serving trustee.
The problem for the stuckists is that their remarks are often so much more eye-catching than their art, a tendency which this show hopes to disprove.

 NPR's All Things Considered: The Stuckism Art Movement
Emin holds a special place in the Stuckist pantheon: She's known the group's co-founders, Childish and Charles Thomson, since the early '80s when all three were young performance poets.
Emin even named the group when she told Childish his art was "stuck, stuck, stuck." Childish left the Stuckists in May of this year, but he still shares their low opinion of most contemporary British art.
Meanwhile, the Stuckists plan to protest this year's Turner Prize and co-founder Charles Thomson is running for Parliament on the Stuckist party ticket.

Stuckists are just saying that painting is very much alive and just as relevant as other medium.
Stuckists do not the things for the pubilicity, but because they believe that painting is a vital means of expression.

 The Future | Tendencies
For all their denial of the fact, and in spite of all the hard-hitting manifestos, the aphoristic declarations and mischievous daubings, the Stuckists are often as reactionary, unfunny, dumb and just plain bad as it is possible to be beyond the confines of the academy.
Were such a suggestion to succeed – were the Stuckists to be taken seriously – this would have the effect of evacuating from ‘the canon’ the very qualities of vision and affect which they purport to champion, to say nothing of the painterly techniques which – simply for lack of choice – they copy.
Worse, Saatchi has effectively raised the possibility that Stuckist art is potentially as open to commoditisation as anything else; perhaps the greatest irony being that painting and drawing are the media most readily associated with the process, and – despite the popularity of sharks in tanks – least likely to resist it.

As a movement poised to subvert the mythology of the contemporary art world, however, the Stuckists have a couple of big challenges, both of which are on display at the Newark exhibit.
It needs a group of young artists willing to risk their careers to say that the best art doesn't to be explained; that real innovation has little to do with gimmicks or novelty; and that the contemporary art world has become little more than an affected, self-indulgent fashion show.

They exist to fight for the return of paintingto the centre of artistic endeavour and debate, and to expose the alleged stranglehold on the art world by a group of powerful champions of concep-tualism led by the Tate chief Sir Nicholas Serota.
For all their sometimes silly posturings, there was a need for a group to challenge the ruling orthodoxy in the visual arts.

We're not doing that, because Stella's work is Stuckist art (whether Stella is still formally in the Stuckists or not), and Saatchi is taking the credit for discovering this new talent.
Stella was discovered and first exhibited by the Stuckists, and her work transformed by Stuckist ideas, which are still manifest in what she is doing now.

Spectrum Gallery believe the Stuckists' work should be taken as seriously as their politics, and have high hopes that their exhibition, 'Go West', which opens in October, will establish the group of artists beyond their own Shoreditch Gallery where they have shown their work in the past.
