Edgeworth Johnstone, from the Heckel's Horse Jr. series
On works inspired by a collaboration between two artists associated with Stuckism, the first Remodernist art movement.
Edgeworth Johnstone writes:
"Since winter 2013, the Medway painter and punk rocker Billy Childish and myself have been collaborating on a painting partnership we've titled 'Heckel's Horse'. Working in Billy's studio at Chatham's historic dockyard in Kent, as Heckel's Horse, we have made over 150 oil paintings to date, mostly on six foot Belgian linen canvases. In most cases, I will start a painting that Billy then finishes. Occasionally we work simultaneously, blending each other's styles into a single finished piece.
"Over the last two years, I have begun making my own versions of Heckel's Horse paintings under the alias 'Heckel's Horse Jr' (being the younger of the partnership), which are being exhibited publicly for the first time at Highgate Gallery at the Highgate Literary and Scientific Institution. From my home studio in Muswell Hill, I revisit the paintings I and Billy have made together, creating a fresh body of work I hope will introduce more viewers not only to my art, but also to the Stuckists manifesto I relate much of my painting to.
"Stuckism is an art group founded in 1999 by East Finchley painter and poet Charles Thomson and Billy, named after an insult by Billy's then girlfriend Tracey Emin that he and his paintings were: 'Stuck! Stuck! Stuck!' It was Charles' introduction of Billy to my work that the Heckel's Horse collaboration began."
