==The Stuckists==
{{main|Stuckism}}
In 1999 Childish and Thomson co-founded the [[stuckism|Stuckist]] [[art movement]]. Thomson coined the group name from Childish's "Poem for a Pissed Off Wife" (''Big Hart and Balls'' 1994), where he had recorded Emin's remark to him:
:"Your paintings are stuck, you are stuck! – Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!"

The group was strongly pro-figurative painting and anti-conceptual art. Childish wrote a number of manifestos with Thomson, the first of which contained the statement:
:"Artists who don't paint aren't artists."
The Stuckists soon achieved considerable press coverage, fuelled by Emin's nomination for the [[Turner Prize]]. They then announced the inauguration of a cultural period of [[Remodernism]] to bring back spiritual values into art, culture and society. The formation of The Stuckists directly led to Emin severing her 14-year friendship with Childish in 1999. Childish has said: "The Stuckist art group was formed in 1999 at the instigation of Charles Thomson, the title of the group being taken from a poem of mine written and published in 1994. I disagreed with the way Charles presented the group, particularly in the media. For these reasons I left the Stuckists in 2001. I never attended any Stuckist demonstrations and my work was not shown in the large Stuckist exhibition held in the Walker Art Gallery in 2004."<ref name="THE AQUARIUM L-13 Artist profile"/>{{dead link|date=January 2016}}

British artist [[Stella Vine]], who was a member of the Stuckists for a short time in 2001, first joined the group having developed a "crush" on Childish while attending his music events.<ref name=waldemar>Januszczak, Waldemar.
