STIK
The lowdown on STIK
London , United Kingdom
STIK is a British contemporary artist from London known for minimalist figures constructed from six lines and a circle. Emerging from Hackney’s street-art scene after experiencing homelessness, he began placing these spare yet highly expressive characters across East London, where posture and gesture convey complex emotions through the simplest forms. His work explores community, vulnerability, identity and the politics of public space, often appearing in locations shaped by social change. Moving between murals, sculpture, prints and public commissions, STIK has developed an internationally recognised visual language while maintaining a strong commitment to charitable projects, social causes and the communities that first supported his practice.
