AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

MEDSAN - Love Is Not Illegal - Hand Signed

Still in this poetic and urban vein, Medsan offers a new reflection on the place of art and feelings in public space. This hybrid work, blending street photography and painted intervention, captures the very essence of Parisian romantic rebellion.

The composition centers around a typically Parisian street corner. Under an official plaque ironically stating "INTERDIT DE TAGUER" (NO TAGGING), the artist has applied the classic stencil of a couple embracing, topped with a bright red heart painted with a spray can. On the adjacent wall, the explicit message "LOVE IS NOT ILLEGAL" in blood-red capital letters unfolds, with drips adding to the urgency and spontaneity of the gesture.

Medsan brilliantly plays with textures: the ultra-realistic photographic rendering of stone, cobblestones, and the background clashes with the raw material of acrylic paint and spray applied by hand. The foreground holds a tasty surprise: a black cat in full pursuit of a mouse, bringing a touch of life and humor that reinforces the feel of a “live scene.”

Each copy of this extremely limited edition is manually enhanced, making each canvas a unique work that vibrates with emotion.

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