+ OVERVIEW
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.
