Tracey Emin and The Stuckists

While researching the Tracey Emin I stumbled across the Stuckists, an art movement that is very anti-conceptual art, although one of the main points in the Stuckist Manifesto is;

4.Artists who don’t paint aren’t artists.

There is a point in their manifesto that I find very interesting;

2.Stuckism proposes a model of art which is holistic. It is a meeting of the conscious and unconscious, thought and emotion, spiritual and material, private and public. Modernism is a school of fragmentation — one aspect of art is isolated and exaggerated to detriment of the whole. This is a fundamental distortion of the human experience and perpetrates an egocentric lie.

I feel that my work is falling into that description “It is a meeting of the conscious and unconscious, thought and emotion, spiritual and material, private and public.“

However falling into an art movement seems that it dictates the way you work, as I have been looking at the Digital like a Materialist  my work  has changed and broken  those rules of  having a challenging subject matter and not just using the gaze of the camera.
