RICHMAN
Combining Doodlism with 2D pop-art, I created Richman—incorporating Pikachu to show how wealth claims everything in pop culture. I then took a sculpture workshop, sculpted Richman in 3D clay on my second try, exhibited it at The Marmara Hotel Bodrum in October 2021, and sold it.
Richman was a character I created entirely from scratch—combining my detailed Doodlism line work with vibrant, 2D pop-art colors. In this piece, I incorporated Pokemon’s Pikachu to symbolize the idea that a wealthy, powerful figure can obtain absolutely anything they want in popular culture.
Pushing the boundaries further, I decided to transform this character from a 2D flat drawing into a 3D clay sculpture. I enrolled in a sculpture workshop, and on my very second attempt, I successfully sculpted Richman.
Before finding its buyer, the sculpture was exhibited at the Synonyms 2 exhibition at The Marmara Hotel in Bodrum in October 2021.
