Stik is a British graffiti artist based in London. He is known for painting large stick figures.
Stik paints stick figure-like people as street art. He has worked in the northeast London area of Hackney, especially in Shoreditch. He liaises at the Central Saint Martins Graffiti Dialogues and has been funded to run graffiti workshops. He works with organizations including Amnesty International, British Waterways, the Mutoid Waste Company, Queeruption, and Reclaim the Streets. He paints unauthorised art as well as pieces that are authorised.
In 2011, Stik had a solo show at Imitate Modern Gallery in the London's West End. In 2012, he worked in Dulwich, southeast London, as featured by Dulwich Picture Gallery, where he recreated Old Master paintings in his own style. He collaborated with Ingrid Beazley of Dulwich Picture Gallery to recreate traditional pictures on the streets of Dulwich. This led to further street artists including Conor Harrington, MadC, Mear One, Thierry Noir, Nunca, Phlegm, Reka One, Remi Rough and System, and ROA, becoming involved to form the Dulwich Outdoor Gallery of street art around the Dulwich area in 2013.
