“I Will Not Chew Gum In Class”

Solo Art Show Of Marly McFly

Opening Reception July 28th 7pm

Marlon Diggs AKA Marly McFly, takes a break from his usual style to offer an incredible range of exclusive limited edition new works.

Heavily influenced by comics, music and sport, his current offering is a vibrant mashup that parodies the seriousness of celebrity. Using inspiration from his childhood, this latest body of work titled “I Will Not Chew Gum in Class” is a satirical look through the eyes of his character “Lil Zook”.

Zook is a street art vandal who uses his eyepatch and bubble gum to humanize larger than life legends and icons. He brings a whimsical playfulness to an array of art and pop culture figures ranging from Marty McFly to Basquiat, Michael Jordan to Princess Leia.
