Biography

Odlaw is an American contemporary artist known for his pop art reinterpretations of the iconic character Waldo from the "Where's Waldo?" book series. His work delves into themes of identity, recognition, and consumer culture, using the familiar figure of Waldo to explore deeper societal commentaries.

In 2016, Odlaw's piece titled Waldo Amex was auctioned at Julien's Auctions, marking his entry into the art market. This work exemplifies his style of blending popular culture imagery with critical artistic expression.

Odlaw's art challenges viewers to reconsider the omnipresence of cultural icons and their impact on collective consciousness. By repurposing a universally recognized character, he invites discussions on visibility, anonymity, and the commodification of imagery in contemporary society.
