“Doodling requires you to free your mind from stressful or crowded thoughts,” Cox told Artsy. But for the artist, doodling is first and foremost an escape. Monochrome mazes, cartoon hieroglyphs, an ever-growing web of squiggles and smiles-Cox’s work can be understood in any number of ways.
A prime example of Cox’s work, five limited-edition prints from his “Pop Heart” series were released by Pearl Lam Galleries on November 18th and are available now-exclusively on Artsy. Over the course of the past year and change, the 27-year-old artist’s vast, interlocking compositions have propelled from the Instagram explore page to auction houses and beyond.
The artist, born Sam Cox, has rocketed to fame on the back of his eponymous doodles. "The whole house is real, everything is doodled, the doodles were all hand doodled for the animation, it’s not CGI," he said.Mr Doodle’s approach to artmaking is all but encapsulated in his name: legible, unpretentious, and full of whimsy. He showed off his creation with a stop-motion film, which was created with 1,857 photographs taken over a two-year period from September 2020.
