TM1 (2015) sits within Stik’s scarce body of original paintings on panel—works that distil the immediacy of the wall into a materially enduring format sought by collectors. The tall vertical composition intensifies the figure’s presence, turning a singular character into an emblem of the individual within the scale and pressure of the city. This is the language that has made Stik both broadly accessible and institutionally legible: direct enough to speak to community and street culture, refined enough to sustain museum-grade viewing.
