Billy Childish (born Steven John Hamper, December 1, 1959) is an English author, poet, painter, artist, film maker, photographer, singer and guitarist. He is known for his explicit and prolific work – he has detailed his love life and childhood sexual abuse, notably in his early poetry and his novels. From 1981 till 1985, Childish developed a relationship with artist Tracey Emin and was also associated with another British artist, Stella Vine. Childish constantly advocated for amateurism and free emotional expression. He was a co-founder of the Stuckism art movement with Charles Thomson in 1999, which he left in 2001. Learn more »
