Boob Dylan

2016

Boob Dylan, created in 2016 by The Haas Brothers, presents a compact yet commanding sculptural presence that distills the duo's signature mythological sensibility into a single captivating object. Standing just over 27 centimeters tall, the work combines buffalo fur, hand-carved ebony horns, and cast bronze octopus feet into a creature that feels simultaneously ancient and invented, as though excavated from a taxonomy that never existed. The materials carry distinct sensory and cultural weight: the warmth and texture of the fur contrasts with the cool permanence of cast bronze, while the ebony horns introduce a level of artisanal precision that grounds the work's playful absurdity in genuine craft. The Haas Brothers, Los Angeles-based twins Simon and Nikolai Haas, have built a celebrated body of work at the intersection of fine art, design, and fantasy, and Boob Dylan exemplifies the qualities that have drawn serious collectors to their practice. The piece belongs to their beloved Mini Beast series, which reimagines fabrication as a form of world-building, populating that world with chimeric figures assembled from luxurious and unexpected materials. The work is signed, reinforcing its status as a fully authenticated object within a practice that consistently blurs boundaries between sculpture, decorative art, and narrative artifact. Lora Reynolds Gallery, the Austin-based institution known for its discerning representation of both emerging and established artists, currently offers this work, making it an accessible entry point into a body of work that commands growing institutional and collector attention.
