Installation view of “DoodleWorld” at Ara Art Center, Seoul, 2018. Yet, in the Asian art world, the artist and his infinitely sprawling black squiggles featuring a whole host of anthropomorphic creatures and objects with little satirical social commentary, have been familiar since around 2015 with interest peaking from 2018 onwards.
Otherwise known as Sam Cox, the millennial British artist had “ never graced the wall of a New York gallery, blue chip art fair booth, or major Western museum programme” before May 2021.
The answers could possibly lie in the phenomenon that is Mr Doodle (aka the Doodle Man).
With all the hype about the Asian art market and its growing base of young art collectors, there is increasing global interest in what appeals to this part of the art world.
