## About Stik

Stik, also styled STIK, is a British graffiti artist based in London. Public biographical material reports a 1979 birth year and no formal art-school training, although the limited source pack does not provide an institution-grade biography confirming those details. The artist is best known for pared-down human figures built from six lines and two dots. That economical visual language is associated with large painted graffiti and mural work, making the figure itself the most recognizable element of Stik's practice. Collectors may also encounter the name in auction records covering paintings, works on paper, prints, sculpture, mixed media, and editions. Because the available identity evidence is led by a Wikipedia profile and the supplied Wikidata record appears mismatched, biographical details should be treated cautiously. For appraisal purposes, the work's medium, dimensions, date, edition information, condition, provenance, and attribution remain more useful than name recognition alone.

## Common works and media

Auction records supplied by Appraisily group Stik works across fine art and paintings, works on paper and prints, sculpture and mixed media, and decorative art or editions. The recurring visual subject documented in the biographical source is a simplified human figure formed from six lines and two dots. For editioned material, the edition number, edition size, signature, inscriptions, and physical condition should be recorded before selecting comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched auction data indicates an active secondary-market record for works catalogued under Stik, spanning several object types and price levels. A sound appraisal should compare like with like: an editioned print should not be assessed against a unique painting or sculpture without accounting for medium, dimensions, date, edition size, signature, and condition. Provenance, exhibition history, catalogue references, restoration, inscriptions, attribution confidence, subject matter, and rarity can also affect comparability. Public results may use inconsistent fee conventions, while private sales and incomplete feeds remain outside the visible record. Any estimate should therefore be based on recent, closely comparable lots and a direct examination of the specific object rather than a headline median or the artist-wide observed range.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Coverage may exclude private transactions, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes.
