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

High-quality Giclée mounted on a wooden frame - Hand-signed and numbered - 2026

Signed work by Medsan, an artist member of Atelier Joconde, known for his reinterpretations 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 character (Captain Harlock) and 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 here blends with the esthetic of the print: the starry sky is a stylized cosmos where Arkadia (his pirate ship, adorned with its iconic skull) floats like an antique print. Medsan deploys a more illustrative style, with crisp outlines and a balanced composition that highlights the heroic figure of the deified Albator facing the unyielding nature. It is a masterful mashup between pop-culture-comics and ukiyo-e, where the space pirate becomes an eternal guardian of Fujisan.

The work is a high-quality Giclée print, perfectly capturing the traditional inked linework 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 graphically impeccable piece, ideal for a collector passionate about urban art, space opera culture, and the timeless ukiyo-e aesthetic.

About Atelier Joconde:
Atelier Joconde is a collective of artists united around a vibrant and plural contemporary creation. Established as a true artistic production space, the studio operates both in collaborative creation and in individual approaches, depending on projects and works. Atelier Joconde is also a family adventure. Le Yack, a contemporary figurative painter, develops a narrative and introspective body of work with cinematic and photographic influences. Beside him, Medsan explores color, modern iconography, and visual culture. Finally, Neo Pablo pursues a more instinctive path, blending abstract art, art brut, and figurative abstraction. Each work is conceived, realized, and followed within the studio, with a shared artistic standard and an identity unique to each artist.
