Meaning & Analysis

It is Stik's concept of the fundamental human urge for connection that Lovers is intimately engaged with. The figure on the left has one arm wrapped under the chin of the second, while the figure on the right has a hand on the first's body and the other hand wrapped around their lover's waist.

Lovers is a unique expression of romantic devotion that differs from the obviously political themes of other major works by the artist. The fragile characters in this print take safety in an embrace rather than peering out fearfully into the larger world, which is the customary position of the artist's figures.

A focus is placed on the connection and warmth that can exist in romantic relationships. Instead of looking out into the outside world as Stik's figures often do, these stickmen seem to be withdrawing from it, seeking comfort in a hug.

  • 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.
