“Critics often describe my doodles as ‘not art,’” Cox says. The auction house has also prepared for Cox to host a live doodling session on December 7. In his latest takeover, the 25-year-old artist is giving the Sotheby’s Hong Kong Gallery his own makeover by covering its surfaces with his ‘spaghetti’ and putting a humorous reinterpretation on some of the world’s most famous paintings. Naturally eccentric, Cox calls his doodles “Graffiti Spaghetti” where he combines characters, patterns, and objects together in what is his own take on the typical graffiti style.
You might have encountered his work in the MTV logo consisting of a kooky cast of characters, in public murals, or perhaps in the viral video of him doodling on the exteriors of a boutique for 50 hours. Today, Cox has gained recognition in the art industry after landing solo exhibitions in London in 2016 and in South Korea in 2018. Unlike other children, Cox paved his career path in his quirky creations. Sam Cox saw similar beginnings when at the age of nine, he covered his entire bedroom in Kent, U.K., in doodles. It’s normal for children to start doodling and display artistic capabilities at an early age, but many of them grow out of these nonsense scribbles and seldom grow up to be professional artists.
