λ STIK (BRITISH B. 1979)GDANSK 16Giclee print Signed in pen, inscribed 16 and stamped with studio stamp188 x 147cm (74 x 57¾ in.)London based Street artist, Stik, is renowned for his 'stick-like' figures famously made up of just six lines and two dots. Born in 1979, Stik honed his skills painting on the streets of Hackney in the early 2000s, just at a time when street art was beginning to draw the attention of the wider art market. Stik's work is intimately rooted in the communities in which he produces it. Having been homeless for a period, he sees his artwork as a way to give back to those communities that sheltered him. Whilst the imagery is simplistic, his work deals with issues of displacement, frailty and hope amongst the changing landscape of East London. His work represents an engagement with the community, with the artist opening a dialogue with the people who live there before producing an artwork. Even with his 'guerilla' street art, he seeks permission from locals and its placement is far from indiscriminate. As he said in an interview with The Guardian in 2015: "Street art isn't just art put out into the street ... It's responding to the landscape. If a piece could be anywhere then what's the point? The more integrated with the cityscape they are, the more they seem to belong there." Condition Report: It has not been examined out of the frame. There are no visible damages or restoration. The frame has some minor chips to the edges. Provenance: Obtained directly from the artist. Sold with certificate of authentication studio certificate and agreement signed by STIK available Condition Report Disclaimer

Loss to top of acanthus leaf and areas of chipping/flaking to brown tinted surface finish overall.There are screws drilled through this panel to affix it to the wall.
