Mr. Doodle

Biography

Sam Cox, also known as Mr Doodle, was born in Kent, England in 1994. Starting his artistic career at the age of nine, he scribbled over any object he could get his hands on and covered his bedroom with paper doodles. He soon created a whole new visual phenomenon: his own iconic DoodleLand, manifesting his vision of the world, where dense clusters of characters, objects and patterns grow and multiply relentlessly. Often described as ‘Graffiti Spaghetti’, Mr Doodle’s improvisational creations invade not only canvases but furniture, books, subways, clothing and beyond, building an ever-expanding universe where nothing is taken too seriously. Sotheby’s is delighted to bring Mr Doodle’s explosive energy and witty humour to Asia, presenting to audiences an exhibition that questions the boundaries between art and graffiti while engaging playfully with iconic works from art history. Sotheby’s Gallery proudly presents the eccentric and delightful works of this unique 21st century artist.
