Meaning & Analysis

Stik's figures are characterised by a six-line frame and featureless faces on the one hand, and on the other hand, they have a lifelike quality to them. There is a sense of movement under the surface of the print; the artist's lines are never totally straight, and the characters' stare and discomfort suggest a busy or unsettling scene taking place beyond the frame. In Standing Figure,  the stickman's stance reflects his uneasiness and anxiousness; he poses awkwardly as if he needs to restore his balance or take a deep breath before moving forward.

It is possible to see Standing Figure as a demonstration of how Stik's minimalist approach is densely packed with meaning and inexorably linked to its urban context. The six-line Stik man has taken on a considerably greater importance than Stik had initially intended, having come to represent the experience of isolation and insecurity that can result from living in a marginalising urban environment.

  • London-based street artist, Stik, is celebrated for his distinctive and minimalistic style. By solely using simple, stick-figures, Stik is able to convey profound messages through his work and advocate for marginalised social communities. Inclusivity and resilience underpin his iconic stick-figure motif, with the likes of Liberty and Single Mum promoting empathy and human connection. Having been homeless when starting out as a graffiti artist, Stik developed an affinity to the Hackney community who helped him find his feet, and he now sees his street art as a way to give back to those who helped him.
