SNIK have made a triumphant return to Manchester's Northern Quarter, unveiling a new 20-meter mural that promises to become an iconic landmark in the city. The artists, who’s work last appeared in Manchester in 2018 with their celebrated piece Serenity, have once again captured the city’s imagination with their latest work, entitled Still Life.

Located at the Northern Quarter Carpark on the bustling corner of Tib Street, Still Life is the latest street art addition to the vibrant Northern Quarter, a neighbourhood famed for its independent shops, creative studios, and eclectic atmosphere. The mural invites passersby to pause, breathe, and take a moment to reflect amidst the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Northern Quarter, already a haven for creativity, is the perfect backdrop for this new piece. Still Life blends seamlessly into the area's artistic spirit, while also offering a gentle reminder to appreciate the beauty and tranquility that can be found in our surroundings.

"We’re thrilled to return to Manchester, a city that has always welcomed our work with open arms," said SNIK. "With Still Life, we wanted to create something that not only enhances the urban landscape but also encourages people to take a step back and appreciate the little things, the moments of calm that we often overlook."

The mural is produced in association with Spray Days Manchester and is a testament to Manchester’s enduring love for street art. SNIK hope that new work will become a cherished part of Manchester's artistic heritage, much like its predecessor Serenity, which remains a beloved fixture in the city.

The duo will be producing murals that aim to highlight the crucial conservation work spearheaded by Zoo New England with communities around the world to protect species ranging from threatened to critically endangered.

Through cross disciplinary collaboration, the project aims to bridge the gap between art and conservation and demonstrate how creative platforms can be used to amplify environmental awareness.

Handle With Care, a project of location-specific murals designed to run along the walls of Franklin Park Zoo’s Tropical Forest Pavilion, represents a thematic expansion of the common thread in SNIK’s pieces – the fragile relationship between humanity & the natural world, and an ecosystem reliant on global education & understanding.

Throughout the two-week installation, from April 24 – May 2, visitors will have the unique opportunity to observe the artists while they create these stunning paintings, which include a western lowland gorilla, clouded leopard, a black and white ruffed lemur, and a Panamanian golden frog – all of which are species with compelling conservation stories.

“Conservation and education are the cornerstones of our mission, and this new mural is another way to connect our visitors to the incredible biodiversity of our planet,” said John Linehan, Zoo New England President and CEO. “By providing opportunities for people to more deeply understand the natural world and all of its inhabitants, we aim to build empathy, inspire people to take an active role in preserving healthy ecosystems, and create a better world for people, animals and wild places – now, and in the future.”

Every day, ZNE’s staff are working to save species from extinction while the Zoos are also serving as centers of education, conservation, and important research that is supporting field conservation. Utilizing cutting edge science, as well as partnerships with Boston’s leading institutions, ZNE’s impactful conservation field work is far-reaching, both locally and globally. From rare and threatened species right here in eastern Massachusetts to snow leopards in Mongolia, Cross-river gorillas in Nigeria, amphibians in Panama and One Health focused work in Madagascar, ZNE is actively working to save animals from extinction.

SNIK’s collaboration with Franklin Park Zoo will seek to draw attention to the essential conservation work taking place on local and global levels, to the benefit of communities, animals and environments worldwide. Particular care is placed on collaboratively working with local communities to preserve and protect biodiversity, restore healthy habitats and to positively impact overall health - for people, animals and habitats.

SNIK is delighted to announce their first print release of 2024. Continuing their Plike print editions 'Everything In Its Right Place' emerges as a single layer screen print on 330gsm Plike, crafted exclusively with metallic inks and 24ct Gold Leaf. This series embraces the strength in simplicity, through which the intricacy of hand-cut stencils is conveyed. The serene subject acts as symbol of harmony, a palpable sense of order, and inner contentment as she finds herself enveloped within the untamed growth of the natural world.

The print will be available in variants of Gold, Silver and Copper, each an edition of 25. Also accompanied by a special 24ct Gold Leaf edition, of which there are 8 prints. With this edition, gold leaf is hand-applied in replacement of screen print ink, leaving the same impression from leaf. Each print is 70.3 × 47 cm and produced by Goldmark Atelier.

SNIK today announces EXHALE, a multi-site mural project spanning the remote Norwegian island Utsira and mainland city Stavanger.

EXHALE explores our connection to nature, a notion Utsiran locals are well accustomed to – the small community lives in respectful harmony within the surrounding scenery’s cycle of growth, bloom and decay. SNIK’s interest in the natural world and its timeless encroachment into our lives found poignancy in that intertwinement.

With a population of only 200, the island has previously played host to the works of numerous contemporary artists (Icy & Sot, Issac Cordal, Pichiavo, Borondo), and acted as a particularly fitting location for the first half of SNIK’s ten-day, four-mural trip. SNIK were delighted to be invited by UtsirArt to join this impressive roster of artists, which has been ever growing for the last ten years.

Three murals were painted across the island to explore and amplify those associations – Pathways, Afterthought and Exhale – each chronicling the natural world overrunning and overwhelming calmly accepting subjects, the inevitability of floral abundance reclaiming the scene.

Pathways, painted onto a storage silo on the island, acts as a reminder that even as we build routes to grow and travel, nature is always a part of that process, and our close connection is forever vital to that growth.

Afterthought found a home on a now-unused WWII bunker, a discarded, unnecessary building given back up to nature to be reclaimed. This piece is a reminder that often the effects of our actions on the natural world come as an afterthought.

Exhale, painted on a harbour wall, reflects on a moment of calm within a busy world, a thoughtful soul taking the time to explore and embrace communion with nature.

Each intricate, powerfully visual piece was designed with the environment and natural surroundings in mind – SNIK used deliberately-muted colour palettes to preserve and respect the peaceful partnership between the island and those who choose to call it home.

A final piece, Overcome, was painted in Stavanger, a Norwegian city no stranger to contemporary art and previously hosting two of SNIK’s works. In this piece, created on a building sited in parkland, the steady creep of overgrowth has followed the duo from the island and back to the city, a striking reminder of nature’s inescapable reclamation.

The project was documented and a short film has been produced by film maker by Doug Gillen, longtime collaborator and friend of SNIK, capturing the essence and vitality of the murals alongside the island’s unique natural beauty. To view and download the full project video click this link.

SNIK are pleased to announce their first print release of 2023, 'We Begin'.

Three variants of the very limited edition print will be available to purchase via their online store on Wednesday 19th April at 5pm BST. Print details and purchase information can be found below, for further enquires please email hi@snikarts.com.

SNIK have created their first mural of 2023 in Penge, South London. In conjunction with London Calling Blog, this 4 × 8m mural is the first of the duo's street work to be displayed in the UK for over two years.

Following the success of SNIK's first bronze, 'What Your Soul Sings' that debuted at their 2019 solo show, they returned to collaborate with Stamford based master sculptor Mark Bibby to create their latest piece. Produced at UK foundry, Sculpture Castings, the piece is based on the 2017 popular work 'Fix the Sky'.

The ascendent beauty of the original art, is excellently captured by Mark Bibby in this near-angelic statue. The original wax sculpture is cast using a traditional ‘lost wax casting’ technique.

From the idea conception to the final polish, each stage of the process is completely hand crafted, a true labour of love. The casting process has been beautifully documented and made into a short film by Louis Thornton.

First released the Statement Of Intent group show at BSMT Space. SNIK proudly release 4 colourways, an edition of 5 canvases, 30×40cm, 9 layer hand-cut stencil and spray paint on canvas.

This week marks the launch of STATEMENT OF INTENT, a group show cocurated by SNIK and BSMT Space, Dalston. STATEMENT OF INTENT is a move from the raw to the polished, a marked occasion for both artists and gallery to emerge from the shock and confusion of the past 18months to present something direct, progressive and impactful. A group show curated to introduce the best in a new wave of Urban Art featuring bold abstraction, figurative and illustrative work and clean concepts the exhibition also encompasses artists from the Uk and Europe. The show line up includes: Aches, Dilk, Edwin, KMG, Milu Correch, Mr Penfold, Snik, Tony Star, Voyder, Musa and Stinkfish. STATEMENT OF INTENT opens with a private view at BSMT SPACE gallery on October 14th from 6pm–9pm. The show will run from October 15th to October 31st.

SNIK are delighted to announce the release of their first book – EPHEMERAL: A Project By SNIK. Published by Bio Editions, a new artistled book publishing company, the beautifully-printed 256-page ‘coffee table’ book features numerous works created before and during lockdown, for exhibitions that took place in the south and north of England respectively. EPHEMERAL PART I, held in London’s Crypt gallery in 2019, filled the dark, cavernous space with fleeting glimpses of life captured in a tangible impermanence. The portraits, based on photographed models in a modern take on pre-raphaelite style, were created using painstakingly hand-cut, multi-layered stencils, sprayed onto paper, wood, metal and framed over light boxes. The sell-out show’s popularity resulted in the creation of what would become EPHEMERAL PART II, a literally ‘natural’ progression of the series that saw foliage spill across and over the subjects, overwhelmed and overrun by time’s passing. The exhibition itself was opened during lockdown, housed in an undisclosed, dilapidated warehouse space in the north of England, without a single person invited. In a reference to the arts being put on hold during the pandemic, promotional videos and photographs (featured in this book) are the only evidence of the show taking place. The show was once again a sell-out success, all sales taken remotely via SNIK’s website. SNIK: EPHEMERAL showcases not only the entire collection of artwork at both exhibitions, but gives an additional behind-the-scenes look into the creation and production of the shows, from conception to finished product, featuring interviews with the artists and their exhibition team and photographs of all stages of the production process. The books themselves have been produced under the scrutiny of the artists themselves, and accordingly each edition is printed with extremely high production values. 175 copies feature an accompanying signed screen print, while 50 particularly special copies add a hand-painted cover along with print and bespoke box. All the editions, including the 750 standard hardback run, are printed on 200gsm GalerieArt Satin paper.

SNIK created the ‘We Begin’ mural for Nuart Aberdeen 2021. Sister piece to ‘Gone Believer’ in Abdereen’s twin city Stavanger, this mural is 5×5m and will be the second SNIK mural to find its way to the walls of Aberdeen. The work can be found in market square just off Union Street on a controversial building that is set to be demolished within months. This fleeting existence seems rather fitting for the work of SNIK as in true Ephemeral nature, it will be here today but gone in the not-too-distant future. “The nature of street art is temporary anyway, things sometimes don’t even last a day. So for us, it’s not such a problem if it’s being knocked down. If anything, I quite like the transient nature of it – it comes and goes and you enjoy it when it’s there and that’s the beauty of it.” – SNIK

After months of work, SNIK are over the moon to finally announce that EPHEMERAL II opens this week, but perhaps not in the way you’d expect...
“This past 18 months have created unique parallels between the isolation artists naturally tend to experience – hiding away out studio to create new work – and an unexpected isolation experienced worldwide.
It’s meant frustrations, challenges, but also opportunities: we want to run a show that everyone can experience even if no one can attend in person. So we did a show, and no one came, and now we want you to see it.
An abandoned exhibition felt very right for this year, for obvious enough reasons, and the space you’ll be stepping into, through this video and forthcoming VR, is an important part of that. A snapshot frozen in time of a world left to fend for itself, with nature reclaiming that ground both on the canvases and... well, we’ll let you see for yourselves.
It’s felt right to balance what has been a long, tough time of restrictions, disappointments and boundaries with a technological effort to make this the most accessible show we’ve ever pulled off. We’d say that we can’t wait to see you there, but of course this time around, we won’t.” - SNIK

The recently donated ‘We Begin’ on card fetched $6200 for the Eco Moyo Auction. The Charity Auction was curated by stencil artist Martin Whatson and a Norwegian art collector. 100% of the funds raised goes to Eco Moyo Education Centre in Kenya. SNIK are extremely pleased with the success of the auction this year and look forward to supporting the cause again in future years.

‘Break That Wall’ exhibition at Mazel Gallery celebrates the taking down of the Berlin Wall in 1989. For the exhibition each artist is supplied with a custom replica of the Berlin Wall that will act as their canvas for the exhibition. SNIK stamp on this unified look will be ‘We Begin’ , a new piece that will debut at the exhibition.

Sunday 29th November – Sunday 6th December

In times of national economic crisis, charities often find themselves woefully and suddenly underfunded, while still attempting to provide consistent levels of care and support. Animal Helpline is just such an organisation: the volunteer run charity has worked in Wansford, Peterborough for 30 years, saving dogs from UK pounds to prevent them from being put down.

For the first time ever Snik will be opening up their vaults and giving people the opportunity to purchase rare prints, special variants and a brand new edition of etchings. First to be released from the vault will be never before seen etching‘Days Go By’. The etching, edition of 30, has been produced by hand at Goldmark Atelier in Uppingham and individually painted by Snik using watercolour and acrylic ink. The vault sale will take place on Wednesday 18th November at 5pm GMT via our online shop.

Today SNIK announces the imminent release of their latest print, ‘Transcend’. The print will be released on Thursday - 17th September at 5pm BST via Graffiti Prints.

The annual Cheltenham Paint Festival returned on Saturday 5th September with over 100 international artists embarking on the town to make their mark. SNIK were delighted to be welcomed back as a headline artist and being given the opportunity to paint an 8 × 8 m wall.

This mural is the evolution of a popular studio piece Transcend, taken from their most recent body of work, Ephemeral. Adapting studio pieces, taking them to the street and sharing it with a wider community, are all stages within SNIK’s practice. This is the natural progression of a SNIK piece. Once again, SNIK demonstrates their classic style; depicting elegance through their finely cut stencils whilst also including dynamic strikes of primary colour.

SNIK is proud to launch their latest edition of hand painted acrylic/spray paint originals on 410gsm Somerset paper. Finished with a silk screen varnish layer, each piece is unique with varying colour placements. Colour Variant, Edition of 10. 100 × 74cm. Metallic Leaf Variant, Edition of 5. 100 × 74cm. Special Edition Colour Variant, Edition of 3. 100 × 74cm

After a steadfast year of preparation for SNIK’s solo exhibition, Ephemeral, SNIK were thrilled to take to the walls and create a signature piece for New Brighton’s latest regeneration project, New Brighton Street Art. This project sees some of the best international street artists working alongside local artists, each bringing their own style to the large-scale murals that have graced New Brighton’s Victoria Quarter.

Whilst abiding by their distinctive style and use of hand cut stencils, SNIK’s latest mural brings a contemporary twist to traditional stencil art. The mural focuses on the everyday features of life’s entanglement, through the carefully cut stencils of illustrated strands of hair and through their delicate replication of street art tags.

SNIK’s work for New Brighton Street Art is part of the body of work, Ephemeral. Painting a mural in conjunction with, and so soon after their solo show was an important next step for the duo. Their aim is to continuously surprise and entertain everyone through their progressive murals that to this day remain unmatched.

Working with Sculpture Castings Foundry in Basingstoke, SNIK are proud to present their very first bronze sculpture. Based on one of the duo’s most iconic images, the sculpture is made of bronze with black patina and highly polished hands. First launched at their regent solo exhibition in London, the piece measures 55x55x30cm and is an edition of 9.

October 17th saw the launch of ‘Ephemeral’, the first solo show by SNIK. The immersive show examined processes of beauty, creation and decay – considering the inevitability of ageing, and its potential for artistic renewal. At the Crypt gallery, SNIK presented their works in a decaying environment through which viewers must navigate: a backdrop of flowers, themselves in varying stages of decomposition.

Set across three underground spaces, the first room presented vibrant multi-layer portraits executed through richly textured stencils, shown alongside installation images of SNIK’s high-profile international mural paintings. This is followed by a middle section progressing towards more muted single-layer figurative works, created across rusted and beaten panels of metal, as well as sculptures rendered in bronze. Reflecting the gradual ageing processes inflicted by outdoor elements, these works focus on the body and decay.

The final room presented lightbox stencil projections bringing together motifs from some of SNIKs most recognisable street works. Providing the room’s only light source, the black and white works appear ghostly in their surroundings. Representing both the bare bones of complete loss, whilst nodding towards the possibility of regeneration (themselves a recreation of SNIK’s previous works lost to time), the final sections ultimately asks the viewer to ‘hope in new works appearing out of the ashes and rubble of the past’.

This year marks the 10 year anniversary of the renowned Urban Contemporary Art Aair - Moniker. SNIK will be exhibiting ‘Great Britain' in the Urban Nation installation hall along side other familiar UN names. Catch the exhibition from 3-7th October at The Chelsea Sorting Office.

For the coming weeks SNIK’s artwork will be exhibited digitally at the Flannels Flagship store on Oxford Street, London, as part of the iconic W1 curates exhibition. W1 Curates believes masterpieces should be for everyone, not just the privileged few. They bring powerful art directly to the people through their digital exhibitions and showcase artwork from some of the most innovative artists from around the world.

400sqm of hand-cut stencils and a week of painting later and the SNIK/ Herakut collaborative mural is ready for the opening of new street art museum, Urban Nation. Taken from ‘The Lorax’, Herakut provokingly adds - “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not”. The front of this mural is adorned with flowing flowers,full of life. The other side acts as a reminder of what can become…decay and sorrow, unless....

After a busy trip to Stavanger this year, SNIK have completed their second mural for NuArt Festival 2018. The 7.5 × 7.5m mural, situated in Stavanger airport, is created using only hand-cut stencils and spray paint. The ethereal nature of ‘Places We Stay’ follows suit of ‘Gone Believer’ in marking a new, contemporary stage in SNIKs work.

SNIKs first mural for this year's NuArt festival Stavanger is now complete. Marking the start of their new body of work, ‘Gone Believer’ is strategically planted with ivy that will become a natural prop for the piece over time. This element to SNIKs work tugs at the notion that nature will always reclaim its place in our man-made world.

The piece establishes the first of many ‘Tributes of Hope’ as it stands in the shadows of Stevenson Square, where over 100 years ago, the Suffragettes once gathered. The tribute is created in gratitude to all the women that stand against injustice. A recognition of their strength, resolve and dignity. A testimony to what they have endured and still endure to make the world a better place for us all.

Today SNIK join the impressive roster of artists to create a canvas for Amsterdam’s new street art hub, STRAAT Museum.
