Stik

Description

From the publishers behind Banksy''s mega-selling Wall and Piece, comes the

fully-illustrated, beautifully presented book by feted London street

artist, STIK. Stik first came to notoriety as an underground street artist

who painted life-size stick figures during the night around London''s East

End. As a firm believer in the right to protest, the freedom of speech, and

basic human rights, Stik has now painted murals in cities, towns and

villages all over the world, focusing his work in communities which have

not been afraid to express themselves in the face of repression and

disenfranchisement. Having gained an international following, Stik credits

his audience with the intelligence to fill in the details with just six

lines and two dots to imply emotion. Each piece is a meditation. This will

be the first collected volume of his work to date, and alongside a whole

host of original artwork, never-before-seen sketches and other rare

ephemera, it will reveal the political and artistic inspiration behind the

work of this brilliant and inspiring artist.
