Mr Doodle Installs 2.7-Meter 'Big Doodle' Sculpture at Place C in Gyeongju, South Korea

A figurative sculpture measuring 2.7 meters (8.9 feet) tall, named Big Doodle, created by Sam Cox, also known as Mr Doodle, is now permanently exhibited at Place C, a versatile cultural venue and gallery located in Gyeongju, South Korea. This piece reflects the artist's likeness and is inspired by a viral video from nine years ago, where he doodled on the floor of the Old Street Underground station in London. Cox attributes this footage to the surge in global interest in his art and its introduction to Place C. He documented his drawing process for the sculpture and collaborated with a manufacturer to create 3D models. Once completed, he adorned it with his signature monochrome patterns, which he refers to as 'Graffiti Spaghetti,' embodying his stream of consciousness. Cox emphasizes that creating large-scale works is ideal for him, as they need to remain recognizable from afar, and he hopes this public artwork brings joy, inviting viewers to appreciate the doodles as one would enjoy sunshine. This sculpture follows his previous endeavors, including two years spent doodling throughout his 12-room residence.
