+ OVERVIEW
In early 2022, Shanghai K11 launched "Doodle in Love", an unprecedented large-scale exhibition of the artist's multi-colored graffiti works. This exhibition completely narrates the process and experience from falling in love to marrying Mrs Doodle in 2021, presenting a journey from black and white to dazzling colors filled with romance and love. This beautiful relationship makes M.Doodle's black and white world changes to a colourful one. This journey of love has been visible for the first time as early as 2019 in "Mr Doodle Invades Sotheby's". The new graffiti works in the exhibition are based on famous paintings from both the East and the West, including "Mona Lisa", "The Scream", "The Doodle Girls of Avignon" and Sanyu's masterpiece "Nude Girl with Crooked Legs".
This work "Doodle Kiss" is also included in the above mentioned exhibition. The original work was created in 1907-1908 by Gustav Klimt, a master of the Vienna Secession, and it was also a piece created in its golden era at his pinnacle. Mr. Doodle continued his whimsical "Graffiti Spaghetti" method to redeconstruct the picture, utilising the masterpiece as the prototype. The background of the painting is in gold, the rough black lines outline the pair of lovers and the big love situated in the center of the painting. Surrounding the picture, the sun, stars, hearts, flowers, keys, diamonds, ice cream and other graphics and elements representing romantic love are outlined with white lines. The whole picture is full of happiness, sweetness and joyful atmosphere, in continuation with the artist's consistent theme of love, blessed and fun.
