About the artwork

Takashi Murakami showcases a striking iteration of Mr. DOB, his razor-sharp teeth and unblinking eyes offering a compelling contrast to the character's often playful demeanor. Conceived in 1993, Mr. DOB stands as a pivotal figure in Murakami's exploration of post-war Japanese pop culture, embodying the explosive energy of anime and manga that captivated the 1980s and beyond. This work, with its unique form and intense imagery, underscores Mr. DOB's enduring role as a complex symbol within Murakami's artistic universe.

He coined the term 'Superflat' to define his vibrant, boundary-blurring aesthetic, reflecting both traditional Japanese art and the complexities of post-war Japanese society. Murakami's influential works have captivated audiences worldwide, gracing the halls of prestigious institutions like the Guggenheim Bilbao, MoCA Los Angeles, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
