Standing Figure (Yellow)

2015

Standing Figure (Yellow) presents one of Stik's most immediately recognisable motifs, a lone elongated figure rendered in the artist's signature reductive graphic language against a vivid yellow ground. Produced in 2015 as an offset lithograph printed in colours, the work measures 755 x 240mm and retains its full margins, lending it a considered, almost ceremonial presence on the page. The narrow vertical format amplifies the figure's quiet solitude, and the work demonstrates how Stik distils complex human emotion into the most economical of visual means. A self-taught British street artist whose works have appeared across the walls of London for over two decades, Stik has built an internationally recognised practice rooted in accessibility and community, yet his editions carry a formal rigour and graphic clarity that translate powerfully into the realm of fine art print collecting. What distinguishes this particular impression is its provenance and condition of signing. While the first edition of the monograph published to accompany Stik's career carried an unsigned version of this print, this example is one of a select number that Stik signed in person in black felt tip pen at the book's launch event held at Foyles bookstore in London. That direct, documented point of contact between artist and object adds a meaningful layer of authenticity and rarity to an already desirable work. The lot is accompanied by the original first edition book, in its standard dimensions of 267 x 222mm, making this an unusually complete and coherent acquisition for a collector seeking both the print and its original publishing context. It is offered unframed, allowing for individual presentation choices, and is sold subject to Artist's Resale Right.
