MEDSAN - Arnolfini's Edo Wedding (アルノルフィーニの江戸婚礼) - Hand Signed

MEDSAN - Arnolfini's Edo Wedding (Arnolfini's Edo Wedding) - Giclee

Format vertical 60h x 40l cm - Signed by hand and numbered - 2026

Artwork signed Medsan, an artist member of Atelier Joconde, known for bold stylistic fusions and offbeat cultural appropriations.

In this spectacular creation titled "Arnolfini's Edo Wedding," Medsan orchestrates a masterful mashup between Japan's Edo era and the Flemish Renaissance. He reimagines the famous composition of the "Arnolfini Portraits" by Jan van Eyck within the intimate, codified setting of a traditional Japanese interior from the 16th century. The man and the pregnant woman, dressed in richly decorated kimonos, adopt the iconic pose of the Flemish originals, transporting the moment of Bruges' vow to Edo.

The work is a high-quality Giclée print that faithfully reproduces the Ukiyo-e meticulousness: the complex fabric details, the texture of the tatami mats, and the symbolic background elements. Note the convex mirror in the background, a faithful reflection of the original painting, and the signature "Medsan" handwritten in Japanese characters (katakana) in a traditional red vertical cartouche located at the top right (X f). The four-poster bed has become a traditional futon under a red sheet, creating a captivating narrative tension between past and present, East and West.

A narrative, poetic, and visually striking work, ideal for a collector who loves urban art, revisited art history, and the timeless aesthetics of Ukiyo-e.

About Atelier Joconde:
Atelier Joconde is a collective of artists united around a vibrant and plural contemporary creation. Established as a true center of artistic production, the studio operates both as collaborative creation and individual projects, depending on the works. Atelier Joconde is also a family venture. The Yack, a contemporary figurative painter, develops a narrative and introspective body of work with cinematic and realist influences. Beside him, Medsan explores color, modern iconography, and visual culture.
Finally, Neo Pablo engages in a more instinctive inquiry, blending abstract art, Outsider art, and figurative abstraction. Each work is conceived, created, and supervised within the studio, following a shared artistic standard and an individual identity for each artist.
