Dabs Myla prepare for ‘Tokyo Deluxe’ opening next Fri, Sept. 3rd at Thinkspace

August 24th, 2010 No comments

Los Angeles based Australian born duo Dabs Myla are currently entrenched in their Hollywood studio putting the final touches on their most ambitious body of work to date. Our project room will be a virtual visual overload come this September as the pair fill it with a wide array of new works layered on top of a mural and additional installation elements including die-cut figures, buildings and more. The works in ‘Tokyo Deluxe’ are based on their recent trip to Japan and the exhibition itself aims to instill the same fervent energy found within the city centers of Japan’s largest cities.
