After Adrian Searle's criticisms of Stella Vine in 2004, she wrote a letter to him, defending painting:

as the old/new YBAs prepare for yet another retrospective, what is longed for is, if not an overthrow of the existing order then at least a loosening of it? ... You also write that "painters are mostly a conservative lot". As someone who has just finished an MA, I can assure you that there are many so called conceptual artists being rehashed through colleges who are deeply rooted in a kind of stymied art speak and who are making work from a deeply conservative place. Painters are no less or more conservative than artists working in other media.^[1]
