Meaning & Analysis
Liberty (blue) is a signed screen print by elusive street artist, Stik. Released in 2013 in an edition of 25, this print was inspired by a mural of the same name by the artist in New York City. Presented in white, blue and black, this print depicts a stick figure with one arm outstretched, emulating the Statue of Liberty herself.
Stik’s socially-conscious art has taken him around the world. In the foreword to his 2015 coffee table book, he remarks: “As word got out, I was able to show solidarity with other causes around the world: the civil rights movement in America, renewable energy in Norway, recycling in Japan and the housing crisis in the UK”. Liberty attests to this growing international approach.
With one arm defiantly extended upwards, evoking the raised clenched fist symbol of the civil rights movement, the stick man of Liberty stands steadily and powerfully. The mural from which the print series takes its name was painted on the edge of Tompkins Square Park, a place steeped in a history of protest. The image is inexorably linked to the several Stik works concerned with making space for the marginalized, such as A Couple Hold Hands In The Street.
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.
