Stuckism
The Stuckists, the first Remodernist Art Group.
Remodernism is inclusive rather than exclusive and welcomes artists who endeavour to know themselves and find themselves through art processes that strive to connect and include, rather than alienate and exclude. *
Why do we need a new spirituality in art?
Because connecting in a meaningful way is what makes people happy. Being understood and understanding each other makes life enjoyable and worth living. *
The 'Barnstaple Stuckists'.
The Barnstaple Stuckists is a DIY movement of independent artists, who agree on a core philosophy, but make our own interpretation of that. Stuckism is pro contemporary figurative painting with ideas.
Stuckism's objective is to bring about the death of Post Modernism, to undermine the inflated price structure of Brit Art and instigate a spiritual renaissance in art and society in general.
Whilst vigorously promoting painting as the most vital visual art form and antidote to the current commercial cancer, we also have an equal commitment to writing, poetry and music.
The Barnstaple Stuckists believe that art exhibitions should not always be confined to the sterility of an art gallery, and that poetry readings and music should be more accessable to the public.
In a county such as Devon, with little or no public transport and the prohibitive cost of fuel, it is impossible for many of its low paid workers and the unemployed to get to a town or city to experience 'art'.
We say art exhibitions, poetry readings and small music concerts should be held in homes too, with access to comfortable chairs and cups of tea.
We believe the surroundings in which art is experienced should not be artificial or vacuous.
We want to show people that real art/entertainment still exists and it's right in front of them.
