New Gothic Art

New Gothic Art is a contemporary art movement that emphasizes darkness and horror.

Manifesto

The Neo Gothic Art Manifesto was written by gothic artist Charles Moffat in 2001[1], who also coined the term "Neo Gothic" in an effort to differentiate it from gothic architecture. The manifesto was later updated in 2003, but both versions emphasize rebellion against normality.

Boston Gothic exhibition

The style began with the "Gothic" exhibition organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, curated by Christoph Grunenberg, which took place April 24 - July 6, 1997.[2] This exhibit included work by Jake and Dinos Chapman, Mike Kelley, Gregory Crewdson, Robert Gober, Jim Hodges, Douglas Gordon, Abigail Lane, Tony Oursler, Alexis Rockman, and Cindy Sherman.[2]

Francesca Gavin's reformulation

Gavin's 2008 book Hell Bound continued to theorize the existence of the movement. She has also referred to the style as "the art of fear."[3] The term is associated with work by Banks Violette, David Noonan and Gabríela Friðriksdóttir, in particular, as well as Christian Jankowski, Marnie Weber, Boo Saville, Terence Koh, and Matthew Stone.[3] Gavin also includes Olaf Breuning, Tal R, Dr Lakra, Abdul Vas, Joss McKinley, Jonathan Meese, Sue Webster, and Ricky Swallow.[4] The artists involved often take inspiration from extreme metal, hardcore punk, motorcycle clubs, pornography, slasher films, and other elements of popular culture.[5]
