MEDSAN - Space Pirate of Fuji (富士山の宇宙海賊) - Hand Signed

High-quality Giclée mounted on a wooden frame - Signed by hand and numbered - 2026

Signed work Medsan, artist member of Atelier Joconde, renowned for his détournements of cultural icons and bold stylistic fusions.

In this illustrative work titled "The Space Pirate of Fuji", Medsan signs a spectacular homage to the legendary Albator (Captain Harlock) and to the space opera myth. He reimagines the pop culture icon at the heart of a traditional ukiyo-e landscape, standing stoically before the snow-capped majestic Mount Fuji (Fujisan), as immortalized by Hokusai.

Albator’s cosmic universe is here fused with the print aesthetic: the starry sky is a stylized cosmos where Arkadia (his pirate ship, adorned with its emblematic skull) floats like an ancient print. Medsan deploys a more illustrated style, with clear outlines and a balanced composition that highlights the heroic figure of the deified Albator facing the imperturbable nature. It is a masterful mashup between pop culture, comics, and ukiyo-e, where the space pirate becomes a guardian of Fujisan for eternity.

The artwork is a high-quality Giclée print, perfectly capturing the traditional ink lines and the saturated colors of Medsan’s vision. Note the signature "Medsan" handwritten in Japanese characters (katakana) in a traditional red vertical cartouche located at the top right (メドサン).

An epic, dramatic, and visually flawless piece, ideal for a collector who loves urban art, space opera culture, and the timeless aesthetic of Ukiyo-e.

About Atelier Joconde:
Atelier Joconde is a studio where artists come together around a living, plural contemporary creation. Established as a true artistic production space, the atelier operates both in collective creation and in individual approaches, depending on 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. Beside him, Medsan explores color, modern iconography, and visual culture. Finally, Neo Pablo engages in a more instinctive research, blending abstract art, art brut, and figurative abstraction. Each work is conceived, realized, and followed within the studio, with a shared artistic standard and a unique identity for each artist.
