STIK

Using simple freehand stick figures, Stik has stayed true to form for a decade of social commentary.

Resident in a changing Hackney, Stik draws on the concept of refuge for these latest pieces, which also mark Stik’s own rise from the street.

Recent solo shows include NO-ID (’08) and Austin Gallery (’09). Stik also has work in Pure Evil and Brick Lane Gallery.

Stik has produced murals for, Bookartbookshop, Pogo café, Behind the Shutters, Behind bars, Benny’s bar, Hackney Play Association, L.A.R.C, The Treatment Rooms and the general public.

-Stik is curating a group exhibition of young urban artists in autumn ’09 at Mile End Arts Pavilion.
