Meaning & Analysis
Walk (red) is a screen print by street artist, Stik, and was released in 2012 in a limited edition of 50. Printed in red, white, and black, this piece depicts a stickman in motion, gazing ahead with determination. This is another example of Stik bringing the street into the art gallery, taking the vibrancy, instability and harsh materials of the urban exterior into the tightly controlled, comfortable space of an exhibition.
Whilst neither the prints or the exhibition are objects of street art, they allude to the street being the natural home of Stik’s work. Of his stickmen, the artist has remarked: “I feel they are safer on the streets. And it is also my signal to the world that I exist – somewhat in the vein of a graffiti artist. The street is like a theatre. When I get up there, I join the dialog. My art becomes my voice.”
The action of the stickman in Walk mirrors the motion of the pedestrians who walk past Stik’s murals on a daily basis. Stik has remarked that he enjoys seeing the reactions of viewers as they walk past his graffiti: “They love him. They respond to his simplicity. I like watching people’s reactions to Stik from my studio window.”
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.
