Meaning & Analysis
Holding Hands (red) is a signed lithograph print made by British graffiti artist Stik. Produced in 2020 the print shows two stick figures holding hands. The figures are equal in height and stature and appear to be looking sideways in opposite directions. There is an air of apprehension in the print as the figures seem on the verge of separation, with their knees pointing away from each other.
The figures in Holding Hands (red) are composed of six lines and two dots and rendered in black and white using thick black lines. The stick figures are set against a bright and vibrant red backdrop which contrasts with the black and white figures. While the print is simple in style, it is extremely emotive as a tension between connection and separation marks the artwork.
Holding Hands (red) is one of five print variations in Stik's Holding Hands collection. The prints in this collection are based on a sculpture Stik produced in September 2020 in collaboration with Hackney Council. The sculpture was installed in Hoxton Square in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic in order to remind people to stay hopeful that life would go back to normal and that close physical contact would soon be permitted.
