STIK is one of the most iconic British street artists – he has captivated audiences with his minimalist, stick figure murals that express deep emotions and social commentary. His art has become iconic for its simplicity – bold, clean lines that form expressive human figures. Despite being very minimalist, STIK’s art conveys powerful emotions and themes such as community, loneliness and social inequality. His career began while he was experiencing homelessness – he used art as a way to communicate with the world around him. His early works were often painted in public spaces without permission, blending seamlessly into the urban landscape. 

Over time, his distinctive style gained attention, and his murals began appearing on walls across London and beyond, resonating with people for their ability to express universal human experiences with minimal visual elements. With exhibitions in major galleries and public murals in cities around the world, STIK has become one of the most recognised figures in contemporary street art. Despite his growing success, STIK remains deeply committed to the accessibility of his art, continuing to create public works accessible to all, and giving a voice to those who often go unheard.
