In 1964, Duggie studied at the Chelsea School of Art for four years, before leaving, in 1968, on a scholarship that brought him to the USA.
Duggie’s work certainly is well placed in the realm of Pop Art, alongside such masters as Andy Warhol and Roy Lictenstein, although Duggie’s art is sometimes referred to as “post pop”. His work embodies an enormous range of iconographical and thematic influences, ranging from the traditional to kitsch. Everything intersects beautifully in his work--which Duggie refers to as “maximalist”.
