From Matt Ryan Tobin: “I completely immersed myself in this film while working on this piece. It played on loop for days in my studio. I listened to Blue Velvet, the song, countless times; it already being a song I love. I really wanted to capture the beauty as well as the sadness of this film, but have a slight nuance of fear. Jeffery peering through Dorothy's dress is meant to represent his first glimpse into her life but also he ultimately exposes her heart on a deep level, in a way setting her love free. Free of Frank's violent prison hold. The shape of the parting curtains are akin to that of a knife's blade, representing the danger and violent world Jeffrey is unknowingly about to walk into.”

David Lynch's Blue Velvet (1986) is a hypnotic, unsettling neo-noir peeling back the dark underbelly of small-town America. Tobin's print captures the film's dreamlike menace, a compelling piece for collectors of Lynch's filmography.
