Dreams, 2025

A mischievous flair for pop art sketches, and large scale canvases, are the trademark of DabsMyla collaborative method. They construct interactional and exuberant fixtures with their illustrations, which are influenced by street art, 1950's graphic novels and classic American animated films and movies. Their love for gastronomy and exotic journeys, transpires through their work and invigorates their prankish, unpredictably creative life together. Dabs imagines exhilarating personas which he hands over to Myla, who spatially recasts them, in her naturalistic urban landscapes. Their collaborative complementarity is so fusional, that neither of them is concerned with the idea of authorship, and they credit all their output, to their joint names. Dabs and Myla were both born in Melbourne Australia, and have been residing in Los Angeles, CA for over a decade now. They met in art school, when Dabs already was an active and prolific street artist on the Melbourne underground scene. Their collaboration has been ongoing ever since, and they live, work, and stimulate each other in an imaginative way, continuously. Their individual styles and contributions to a finished work are hard to distinguish, as the finished products always convey unwavering cohesion. Their gigantic murals and wall art, beautifully combine epigraphs, print scripts, and multiple pop and imaginary characters depictions. They bring together the vocabulary of a bygone era, with the sophisticated complexity of the multi media age. (Artist website)
