MEDSAN - The Galactic Ronin (Cobra Space Pirate) - Hand Signed

Cobra Space Pirate – The Galactic Ronin (Homage to Yoshitoshi)

This masterful work by Medsan transports the pop culture icon Cobra, the famous space pirate, into the merciless universe of feudal Japan. Reinterpreted as a solitary ronin samurai, Cobra retains all of his iconic charisma while adopting the tormented and dynamic aesthetics of the ukiyo-e master Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.

The piece is distinguished by a heroic composition where the subject, with wild blonde hair, sports his traditional kiseru pipe. His left arm reveals the legendary Psychogun, here transformed into a mechanical and mystical iron cannon, from which a subtle vapor escapes. The contrast between the vibrant vermilion red of his open kimono and the deep indigo blue of a starry night creates a striking visual tension. The sumi-e (Chinese ink) treatment emphasizes the silhouette with strength, while bokashi gradients and the texture of aged washi paper give this print an authentic historical feel.

A piece where futuristic technology meets the poetry of Japanese printmaking, ideal for collectors seeking a work at the crossroads of eras.

About the Atelier: Atelier Joconde is a collective of artists united around a living, plural contemporary creation. Established as a true art production space, the studio operates both in collaborative creation and in individual approaches, depending on the projects and works. Atelier Joconde is also a family venture. Le Yack, contemporary figurative painter, develops a narrative and introspective body of work with cinematic and realistic influences. By his side, Medsan leans toward pop art painting, exploring color, modern iconography, and visual culture. Finally, Neo Pablo engages in a more instinctive search, blending abstract art, outsider art, and figurative abstraction. Each work is conceived, created, and followed within the studio, with a shared artistic standard and a unique identity for each artist.
