Davy Jones’ Tear, a limited-edition screen print by Takashi Murakami, belongs to a set of three prints derived from a scene in Gore Verbinski’s 2006 adventure film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest in which octopean villain Davy Jones plays an organ with his tentacles. Abstracting comprehensively from this already curious incident, Murakami pictures an amoebic figure-eight shape atop a ground of colorful Benday dots and expressive drips and spills. Investing a cinematic allusion with references to the histories of modern painting and graphic design, the artist presents a sophisticated combination of popular culture and high art.
