Mr Doodle gets his first UK exhibition: Internet art sensation Sam Cox will ... trends now
The internet art sensation Sam Cox, also known as Mr Doodle, is to open his first exhibition in a museum after spending two years filling every inch of his home with his trademark black and white sketches.
Mr Doodle will fill the walls, floor and ceiling of the Hoburne Museum, in Bath, with his artwork.
The exhibition, which is due to open on May 3, will showcase a selection of pieces from Mr Doodle's personal sketchbooks going back to his teenage years as well as new installations drawn all over the exhibition.
Primarily characterised by black ink on a white background, Mr Doodle's graphic style conjures up a world of quirky creatures and anthropomorphic forms - using ink pens and spray paint to intricately weave together what he describes as 'graffiti spaghetti'.
Sam Cox, aka Mr Doodle, said: 'My intention has always been to create a universal doodle language that can relate to and attract people from all over the world.'

Mr Doodle began to garner recognition in the art world in 2015 and has since seen a meteoric rise in interest in his work.
His big break came in 2017, when he opened a Mr Doodle pop-up shop in East London. Suddenly, a Facebook video of him doodling on the white walls, floors and ceiling was viewed 46 million times in a week.
