Michael Moebius has a huge talent when it comes to turning pop art and popular
culture on its head. His now famous bubble gum portraits have become a favourite
among interior designers and investors the world over, thanks to their striking
symbolism.
Moebius has twice featured in the world’s ultimate luxury magazine, The Robb Report,
and his works constantly grace the cover of international magazines such as Playboy,
GQ, Vogue and Glamour. His work has also won attention from celebrities including Mel
Gibson, Paris Hilton, Hugh Hefner, Rihanna, David Guetta and KISS frontman Gene
Simmons.
Today, Moebius has become one of the most recognised and in-demand contemporary
artists in the world. Unlike his gum bubbles, the artist’s value continues to expand and
shows no sign of bursting. Maddox Gallery is delighted to have an exclusive working
relationship with Michael Moebius, as the only gallery in the UK and in Europe to display
his eye-catching works. If you would like to see these works up close, please pay us a

In the art bubble – Most famously, Michael Moebius gives a new dimension to popular
cultural icons, adding brightly coloured gum bubbles to monochrome portraits. Marilyn
Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth have all been reimagined in
this style, and his latest depicts the four Beatles all with signature gum bubbles, aptly
titled; All you need is gum.’
In terms of artistic influences, Moebius cites inspiration from Italian renaissance artist
Titian and the genius baroque artist Caravaggio, as well as more contemporary names
such as Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso and Alberto Vargas.
