Meaning & Analysis

A formative piece in Stik's body of work, Single Mum (yellow) is an exemplary print in terms of his compositions of either lone figures, or duos. The standing figure is quietly static, despite an imbalance of weight accentuated by the diverging gazes of both figures. A sense of disquietude can be felt from this outward and opposite directional focus; while equally, a calming comfort can be inferred from the figures’ closeness and maternal bond.

The vibrancy of the yellow backdrop can be seen in many of Stik's other stick figure prints, and carry through a nod to simplicity and directness of Street Art and its existence reflecting reality as he says, “The street is like a theatre”.

Like Stik's other six-line stickmen in his Standing Figure series, there seems to be a consistent vulnerability and sense of isolation conveyed through the seemingly non-expressive faces and fixed statures; reflecting the nature of urban habitation, a theme that punctuates Stik's works.

  • London-based street artist, Stik, is celebrated for his distinctive and minimalistic style. By solely using simple, stick-figures, Stik is able to convey profound messages through his work and advocate for marginalised social communities. Inclusivity and resilience underpin his iconic stick-figure motif, with the likes of Liberty and Single Mum promoting empathy and human connection. Having been homeless when starting out as a graffiti artist, Stik developed an affinity to the Hackney community who helped him find his feet, and he now sees his street art as a way to give back to those who helped him.
