Stik In The Park

 

 We have some exciting news to share from our favourite street artist Stik!
 

A 4 metre (12 ft.) steel Stik sculpture will soon be appearing in East End’s Hoxton Square. After many months of planning the ‘Holding Hands’ sculpture has been given official planning permission! The sculpture symbolises the love expressed between two people regardless of gender, sexuality, religion or ethnicity. It is based on Stik’s artwork ‘Hackney Pride’, which was commissioned by Hackney Museum to represent the borough at the Pride in London parade in 2016. The image proved very popular with the million-strong crowd on the parade and was also printed as a souvenir poster in Hackney Today.

 

 

For those of you looking to add a Stik artwork to your life, we have a very special piece available by Stik entitled Heavy (2012). The sculpture is made from iron and oak and measures 165 x 45 x 45cm. It’s made in Stik’s signature style with his deceptively simple iconic figure, consisting of just six lines and dots for the eyes. Unlike his usual murals, the stick figure is raised on a tall wooden plinth, making it a unique and unusal work of art by the artist. Stik has achieved incredible results in various auctions last two years, with his ‘Magpie’ going for £35,000 at Phillips in December 2016. Furthermore, the hand-painted maquette of ‘Big Mother’ mural titled ‘Little Big Mother’ was auctioned at Christie’s London in March 2018, going for three times the estimate.

 

 

Now is a great time to invest in Stik, with his various pieces going for double the estimate in auctions, the limited availability of the pieces, and the market demand remaining very high.
