Preview: Before and Further by DABSMYLA with Modernica

Multi-talented artistic team DABSMYLA joined forces with Modernica to bring a one of a kind experience to the great city of Los Angeles. We were beyond thrilled to get a sneak peak of the full installation before the opening this weekend.

The Spanish style building, located on Modernica's factory property, couldn't have been a more perfect canvas for Dabs and Myla to transform. In every direction you turn, your eyes are immediately drawn to their brightly colored paint covering the walls, their one of a kind structures, and all of the neat little hidden additions that make this a truly unique art installation. We're excited for this to be in Los Angeles and we know if you go, you're going to fully enjoy the transformed space.
