Description from the seller
ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD EXISTS - EDITION 1/1
With this square-format artwork, Medsan takes us on a bold, textured mashup, merging the geometric abstraction of the Dutch master Piet Mondrian with history’s most iconic sneaker: the legendary Nike Air Jordan 1. This unique print transposes the rigorous aesthetic of the De Stijl movement onto a cult streetwear object, blurring the boundaries between classical modern art and the frenzy of sneaker culture.
The visual power of the composition lies in its rough painting treatment, reminiscent of the generous impasto of traditional oil painting. The sneaker, faithfully reproduced with its famous Swoosh, its rising silhouette and its iconic winged logo “AIR JORDAN,” blends into Mondrian’s orthogonal grid. Its multicolored panels — deep blue, bright red and solar yellow on a white background — directly dialogue with the flat primaries of the background, delineated by the painter’s thick black lines, giving the shoe a striking volume.
The impact of the work is enhanced by the play of shadow cast under the sole, creating an trompe-l’œil effect that makes it look as if the shoe is physically lifting off the canvas. It is a vibrant celebration of Pop Art spirit, where a consumer object appropriates the fundamental codes of art history in a powerful visual harmony.
A textured piece, urban, graphic and conceptual, ideal for adding a hype, colorful, distinctly contemporary touch to a design and collector’s interior.

About the Studio:
Atelier Joconde is a collective of artists united around a living and plural contemporary creation. Set up as a true place of artistic production, 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. By his side, Medsan, oriented toward pop art painting, explores color, modern iconography, and visual culture. Finally, Neo Pablo engages in a more instinctive research, mixing abstract art, outsider art and figurative abstraction. Each work is conceived, produced and followed within the studio, with a common artistic standard and an identity unique to each artist.
