Meaning & Analysis
Hip (set of four) by Stik, created in 2013, features four vibrant giclée prints on wove paper, each showcasing a white stick figure against different coloured backgrounds: blue, red, orange, and yellow. This set exemplifies Stik's minimalist yet expressive style, characteristic of his iconic street art that often reflects themes of urban life and social issues.
Stik's Hip (set of four) captures the essence of his signature stick figure motif, rendered in a simplistic yet impactful manner. Each print in the series uses bold colours to create a striking visual contrast with the white figure, which stands with a hand on its hip, embodying an air of casual defiance. The use of giclée printing ensures vibrant colour reproduction and fine detail, characteristic of Stik's meticulous approach. Stik's work, deeply rooted in his experiences as a street artist in London, often addresses themes of identity and community. The Hip series, part of a collaboration with The Big Issue Japan, underscores the artist's commitment to social causes, reflecting his personal history and advocacy for the homeless.
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.
