Stuckism is a radical art movement founded in London in 1999 to advance new figurative painting with ideas as the most vital artistic means of addressing contemporary issues.
An artist that had a huge influence on me during those teenage years is Derek Riggs, especially the work he did for Iron Maiden. Shocking and extreme, yet skilled and thoughtful, it opened a whole new perspective and that's what I need art to do for me.

Frank Christopher Schroeder, born 1967, is an independent remodernist painter, draftsman and collage artist. His creative philosophy roots deeply in the punk, heavy metal and hardcore counterculture of the 1970s and 1980s, where a 'do it yourself' (DIY) attitude was the motor behind everything. In his work he mixes early 20th century cubism, expressionism and dadaism with more contemporary phenomena such as punk art and graffiti. In 2002 he joined the Stuckists.
