6-9 PM LIVE GRAFFITI BY STIK EXHIBITION 3-26 MARCH 2011
SINGLE MUM 2011 silkscreen print 45 x 112 cm - edition of 50
Stik’s latest solo show at the Subway Gallery features a Live Graffiti event on the opening night, an installation comprised of four large light-boxes and hosts the long awaited launch of the new high quality print edition “Single Mum” produced by Squarity. As always there will be smaller,affordable pieces on sale too at this free show.
Live painting by Stik on Saturdays throughout the month. If you’ve visited East London in the last ten years you’ll doubtless have seen the huge mysterious stick figures lurking on the sides of buildings and billboards. Deceptively simple in form, with just six lines each and dots for eyes, they are packed with subtle form and emotion. They are the work of street artist Stik, who having spent many years homeless and working on the streets, knows the city from the inside and manages to reach seemingly superhuman locations to paint these highly stylized pieces. These days Stik exhibits in the West-End, liaises at Central Saint Martin’s “Graffiti Dialogues” with Police and Councils and is funded to run graffiti workshops by councils and schools. The artist also works with groups as diverse as Amnesty International, Reclaim the streets, Queeruption, Mutoid Waste Company and British Waterways and yet still regularly paints unauthorised pieces around the capital, underlining Stik's status as a key component of both underground and mainstream art scenes.
This is a short film we made of Stik's first solo show...
