STIK

Stik's bold, minimalist creations pop up all over London, brightening up the city's darkest corners. These seemingly simple figures are capable of conveying powerful emotions, sometimes appearing melancholic or despairing, other times joyous and playful.

Ashes57 is a graphic artist, illustrator and photographer. Her artwork has graced many record sleeves, flyers and posters, and as Art Director for Swamp 81 she works closely with Loefah to create the label’s visual identity. When she paints, her magical cityscapes buzz to the sound of bass-heavy music.

Emma Dexter is a sculptor and installation artist who currently specialises in optical illusions. Following an artist residency in the rainforest of Las Pozas, she began to experiment with mirrors as a means to manipulate spatial awareness within enclosed spaces. Her extraordinary installations focus on a central object, which is reflected multiple times to create globe-like visuals within a hall of mirrors.
