AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
UNIQUE EDITION 1/1 — THERE IS ONLY ONE COPY IN THE WORLD.
With this square-format artwork, Medsan offers us a joyful, carefree collision of time. "Summer in Edo" disrupts the codes of traditional Japanese prints to anchor them firmly in contemporary pop culture.
The scene features a geisha (or oiran) in the middle of summer. Comfortably seated on a wooden deck chair, she adopts a decidedly modern attitude: sunglasses perched on her nose, a bikini top visible under a traditional kimono left ajar, and a can of cold drink in hand. The contrast is carried to the very tips of her toes, where she wears tabi socks and classic geta sandals. The solid pink background, a strong visual signature of Pop Art, makes the character stand out and reinforces the irreverent and offbeat mood of the composition. The ukiyo-e cartouche at the top right, incorporating the artist’s signature (メドサン), seals this cultural mashup.
A vibrant, humorous, and decidedly design-focused piece, ideal for adding a bold splash of color and pop spirit to a contemporary interior.

About the Studio:
Atelier Joconde is a collective of artists united around vibrant, plural contemporary creations. Positioned as a true hub of artistic production, the studio operates both in collective creation and 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. By his side, Medsan, focused on pop art painting, explores color, modern iconography, and visual culture. Finally, Neo Pablo pursues a more instinctive approach, blending abstract art, naïve art, and figurative abstraction. Each work is conceived, created, and supervised within the studio, with a shared artistic standard and an identity unique to each artist.
