Subway Gallery, “SINGLE Stik”, Solo exhibition by Stik
3rd March – 26th March
Kiosk 1 Pedestrian subway / Edgware RD / Harrow RD London W2
Stik has been creating Stik people around London for over ten years, although androgynous and drawn from simple shapes, they are capable of conveying emotions, feelings and a complex body language.
On first sight the cheerful characters are simply here to beautify the street but they also carry deeper meanings.
Stik the artist himself was homeless for a period and you can detect in his art ideas relating to human weakness or vulnerability.

Introducing BASE23
During my Visit at Stroke artfair last year i met Base23 and was amazed by his artwork immediately. He describes himself: ” The RAL-Galaxia and their life forms were discovered by me in 2008 after doing research in the laboratories for about 17,5 years in the aerosol universe. Since then the color machines and animals have landed on planet earth to make our daily environment more colorful. ”
BASE23 lives and works in Berlin and has exhibited in Barcelona, London, Melbourne, Paris, Berlin and several German cities. BASE23 started with graffiti in 1989 and went on to study, majoring in graphic design/typography.
