Stuckism International Gallery, Art gallery in Shoreditch, London, England
Stuckism International Gallery was an art space in a four-story Victorian warehouse building on Charlotte Road, with exhibition areas spread across multiple levels. The building provided both gallery spaces for shows and studio areas for artists until its closure in 2005.
The gallery opened in 2002 with a procession carrying a cardboard coffin to White Cube to express opposition against conceptual art. This founding moment was a deliberate reaction against the dominant art movement of that time and marked the start of an alternative artistic direction at the location.
The gallery showcased paintings by international Stuckist artists who concentrated on portraits and figurative subjects. These creators rejected abstract approaches and preferred working with people and stories as the main themes of their work.
The location was situated near other art galleries in the Shoreditch area and was easy to reach. The mix of exhibition and studio spaces meant that visitors could often see artists working on site.
The exterior was transformed into a 1960s and 1970s-style sex shop facade during filming of a BBC2 television series. This unusual use shows how this Victorian space could take on a different era for modern film production.
