MEDSAN - Goldorak Waterfall (江戸グレンダイザーの滝) - Hand Signed

With this portrait-format piece (40 × 60 cm), Medsan orchestrates an epic, contemplative fusion between one of the greatest symbols of 1970s anime culture and the Japanese landscape tradition. This giclée features a giant robot with unmistakable Goldorak-like features, standing impassive at the heart of a majestic mountain waterfall.

The visual impact of the composition lies in the masterful integration of this metal colossus within the raw forces of nature. The robot does not fight; it appears to engage in a form of meditation beneath the waterfall (takigyo), rooted like an ancient guardian. The torrents pour and run fluidly over its dark armor and its imposing golden horns, creating a striking contrast between the indestructible machine and the perpetually moving liquid element. The stylized foam at its base emphasizes the power of the current.

The impact of the composition is enhanced by a natural, muted color palette, dominated by slate blues, forest greens, and the bright white of the foaming water. The bold line, the rendering of rock, and the drawing of the twisted pines clinging to the cliffs scrupulously follow the codes of ukiyo-e prints, evoking Hokusai’s famous waterfalls. The traditional vertical cartouche at the top right, on a brick-red background, houses the artist’s signature in katakana (メドサン) and seals this temporal meeting.

A conceptual piece, at once aesthetic, nostalgic, and deeply soothing, ideal for adding a pop, geek, and majestic touch to a design-focused, contemporary interior.

About the Atelier:
Atelier Joconde is a studio of artists brought together around a living, plural contemporary creation. Set up as a true center of artistic production, the studio works both in collective creation and in individual approaches, depending on the projects and works. Atelier Joconde is also a family venture. Le Yack, a contemporary figurative painter, develops a narrative, 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, art brut, and figurative abstraction. Each work is conceived, created, and supervised within the studio, with a shared artistic standard and a distinctive identity for each artist.
