A striking and surreal reinterpretation of Mr. DOB, ICE BLUE MELTING DOB presents Takashi Murakami’s iconic alter ego in a liquified, ice-blue form that appears to dissolve before the viewer’s eyes. Blending playful pop aesthetics with subtle psychological tension, the sculpture embodies Murakami’s signature Superflat universe while introducing a sense of instability and transformation beneath its glossy surface.
Mr. DOB was actually Mr. DOB’s first original character, created in the early 1990s. The name “DOB” comes from a Japanese slang phrase “dobojite, dobojite” (どぼじて), loosely meaning “why?”—a subtle hint that behind the cheerful visuals, Murakami is constantly questioning culture and meaning.
