"Onbu (Piggyback) (Blue)" (2013) by Stik is a minimalist yet emotionally evocative piece featuring two of the artist's signature stick figures, with one carrying the other on its back. Rendered in black lines against a pale blue background, this artwork captures a sense of support and camaraderie. This particular impression is notable for the clear visibility of the woodgrain printing in the background, adding a textured dimension to the piece. Stik's simple yet expressive style conveys deep emotion through basic forms, and his work often addresses themes of community and human connection. This limited edition piece reflects Stik's impactful visual language and social commentary.Printed at t
