Note: Released 9th Nov at Imperial War Museum. Stik is a British graffiti artist based in London, he has been painting all his life but only began getting recognition when he started painting his recognizable stick/Stik figures (without permission) on the street over a decade ago. He was either squatting or homeless for a good proportion of the time he has been a graffiti artist, and was at a St Mungo’s hostel in Hackney up until 2011. His murals started out in Hackney Wick in London and spread to Shoreditch and west towards to the rest of London. These days you will be hard pressed to walk around Shoreditch without catching a glimpse of one of Stik’s large murals – usually on shop shutters and walls. Thierry Noir is a French artist who is claimed to be the first street artist to paint the Berlin Wall. His brightly coloured paintings, which often feature cartoon-like profiles, are now considered iconic and can still be seen on the East Side Gallery. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
