also referred to as Brit artists and Britart-is the name given to a loose group of visual artists who first began to exhibit together in London in 1988.
They achieved considerable media coverage and dominated british art during 1990s
Bullet Hole By Mat Colloshaw featured in the freeze exhibition.
In 1999 Tracy Emin was nominated for the turner prize. Her main exhibit My Bed consisting literally of her dishevelled stained bed surrounded by detritus including condoms slippers and soiled underwear created an immediate and lasting media impact and further heightened her prominence.
To me this symbolises a moment caught in time either after a rough night or just someone who doesn't tidy up very well.
