Twin-Blade Samurai (二刀の侍) is a unique 1/1 giclée on canvas by Medsan, 40 × 40 cm, hand-signed, limited edition, year 2026, origin France, in excellent condition, depicting a culture pop samurai with two blades amid a fiery scene in a square format.
Description from the seller
ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD EXISTS - EDITION 1/1
In this square format, Medsan stages a lone samurai in the middle of a blaze. Feet apart, torso turned, he holds two swords: one raised above his head, the other hurled to the right, its blade extended by a long curve of fire that spans the entire width of the scene. His long black hair, tied in a high bun, streams behind him, and his downward gaze does not leave the flames burning before him.
Behind his silhouette, a multi-story Japanese castle is engulfed in flames, surrounded by lower buildings and a torii gate whose passage is already red. Thick gray then black smoke fills the top of the image and spits orange sparks. Everything hinges on two registers: the deep black of the warrior and his clothing, the red, orange and yellow of the fire, on a cream background. In the bottom right corner, the cartouche メドサン, framed in red. A suspended moment, just before the blade falls again.
A dark and ardent room, ideal for adding a Japanese touch and a narratively rich atmosphere to a contemporary collector’s interior devoted to samurai figures.

About Medsan / Popsan:
Medsan and Popsan are two signatures of the same artist. Under the name Medsan, he explores medicine and anatomy; under the name Popsan, he revisits pop culture icons by blending pop art, Japanese art and anachronisms. On Catawiki, his pop works still appear under the name Medsan, but they belong to the Popsan universe. He creates within the Atelier Joconde, a family of artists, alongside Le Yack (figurative painting) and Neo Pablo (abstraction).
