b 1992, Brisbane, QLD.

Myles Young is a Sydney based artist known in Australia and South East Asia for his imagined landscapes. He has exhibited Internationally, most recently with solo shows in Singapore and Sydney in 2025. His work is featured both in the Macquarie Collection and also in many private collections in Australia and Asia. In 2024 he was a finalist in the Fishers Ghost, Waverley and Omnia Art prizes. He is also a two time finalist in the Brett Whiteley Travelling Scholarship. He is a graduate of the National Art School.


​Having grown up in the country and with a vivd imagination, Young's landscapes are not just depictions of what's infront of him. They are directly referencing his relationships and takes on life, death, the world around him, and imagined scenarios. The landscapes are stages for his ruminations.
A skull depicted laying amongst plants, titled "A Once Ambitious Man".
A Sunflower in a  wet and ancient bog .. "The First Sunflower on earth"
​A large hybrid plant growing oranges, apples and bananas, and so forth.
The idea that the landscape can be digitally sketched, reorganised, constructed and used as a storytelling device is much more satisfying than anything painted from life.
