Myles Young is a Sydney based painter.

He is a graduate of the National Art School and has exhibited nationally with multiple solo and group shows. He was a finalist in the 2023 Mosman Art Prize, 2021 Paddington Art prize, won the 2020 Macquarie Emerging Artist Prize and is a two time finalist of the prestigious Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship (2018, 2019). Young is also a two time finalist of the Waverley Art Prize (2019, 2020). His work is held in the Macquarie Bank Collection and many private collections across Australia.

"Young suggests that his paintings consider “endless iterations of growth over time, perhaps in the same location and ecosystem.” In these imaginary landscapes brimming with timeless trees and otherworldly plants set in watery surrounds, it’s hard to know whether we’re witnessing scenes from the future or the past. However, their dynamic character and enigmatic qualities lend weight to the idea that they exist in a state of flux" - excerpt from essay by Sharne Wolff
