DabsMyla | The Great Destiny, 2022 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// The Great Destiny (2022) by DabsMyla is a surreal and symbolic lithograph, blending classical and modern elements in a striking pop art style. At the center of the composition is a sculpted bust reminiscent of ancient Greek or Roman statues, juxtaposed with a vibrant background of industrial smokestacks and geometric shapes. A still-life arrangement of fruits, including a peach and grapes, adds a layer of symbolism, evoking classical themes of beauty, time, and decay. The bold, contrasting colors—pinks, blues, and yellows—enhance the dreamlike quality of the scene, while the sharp lines and exaggerated shapes contribute to a sense of playful distortion. This limited-edition print continues DabsMyla’s exploration of surrealism, pop culture, and metaphysical themes.

DabsMyla (Australia/USA, active since the 2000s) is a creative duo known for their vibrant, playful murals and installations. Combining bold colors and surreal imagery, their work draws inspiration from mid-century design, pop culture, and street art. Together, they transform spaces into immersive environments, merging fine art with whimsy.

A mischievous flair for pop art sketches, and large scale canvases, are the trademark of DabsMyla collaborative method. They construct interactional and exuberant fixtures with their illustrations, which are influenced by street art, 1950's graphic novels and classic American animated films and movies. Their love for gastronomy and exotic journeys, transpires through their work and invigorates their prankish, unpredictably creative life together. Dabs imagines exhilarating personas which he hands over to Myla, who spatially recasts them, in her naturalistic urban landscapes. Their collaborative complementarity is so fusional, that neither of them is concerned with the idea of authorship, and they credit all their output, to their joint names. Dabs and Myla were both born in Melbourne Australia, and have been residing in Los Angeles, CA for over a decade now. They met in art school, when Dabs already was an active and prolific street artist on the Melbourne underground scene. Their collaboration has been ongoing ever since, and they live, work, and stimulate each other in an imaginative way, continuously. Their individual styles and contributions to a finished work are hard to distinguish, as the finished products always convey unwavering cohesion. Their gigantic murals and wall art, beautifully combine epigraphs, print scripts, and multiple pop and imaginary characters depictions. They bring together the vocabulary of a bygone era, with the sophisticated complexity of the multi media age. (Artist website)

What is pop-art?

Pop Art is an art movement that began in Britain in 1955 and in the late 1950s in the U.S. It challenged traditional fine arts by incorporating imagery from popular culture, such as news, advertising, and comic books. Pop Art often isolates and recontextualizes materials, combining them with unrelated elements. The movement is more about the attitudes and ideas that inspired it than the specific art itself. Pop Art is seen as a reaction against the dominant ideas of Abstract Expressionism, bringing everyday consumer culture into the realm of fine art.
