'Holding Hands' by Artist STIK Installed in London as a Sign of Love and Unity

Created over three years by STIK, the 12-foot-high bronze depicts two of his ageless, genderless and raceless figures joined hand in hand. Feet firmly rooted in the park’s grass, with space for visitors to pass between their legs, one looks westwards towards the city centre, while the other gazes east across the treetops. The work’s theme is clear: love and unity in an era when social distancing and stormy politics are pulling us apart. And its timing couldn’t be more poignant as attitudes towards inclusivity in public statues evolve. On 23 October, Christie’s in London is offering the original, unique bronze maquette for the monumental sculpture, with the proceeds set to fund a socially inclusive programme of outdoor art across the borough of Hackney.
