Meaning & Analysis
Walk (blue) is a signed screen print by street artist, Stik. Released in 2012 in a limited edition of 5, this screen print in white, blue and black depicts a stick figure caught between stillness and movement, looking forwards with anticipation. While the figure in Walk is still within the borders of the print, an air of anticipation and progress is palpable.
Stik says: “Walk” is about me taking the next step. In all of my other drawings, Stik is looking over the shoulder, being really cautious but this one, the eyes are actually looking forward. He still looks cautious, but it’s like looking into the future, going towards something, knowing what I want. It’s taking my first steps.”
Released at the time of a landmark exhibition of the same name, Walk is at once witness to the forward movement of Stik’s career and testament to how movement informs the act of looking. The artist has considered his personal and artistic progress as a series of physical steps: “It’s this walk, walk, walk thing, moving on, putting down tracks. When you meet somebody and they see your footsteps leading into the horizon, they can look at you and say, “Fucking hell. Well, you’ve come far, haven’t you?”
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.
