Description from the seller
LIMITED EDITION - NUMBERED 20
In this square format, Medsan places a young woman alone against a deep brown background that darkens to black in the corners. She holds against her ear a large, pointed, pale and luminous shell, whose radiance climbs up onto her fingers and along the side of her face. Her eyes are lowered, mouth closed, head tilted toward the shoulder: she is listening. Her black hair is pulled up into a high bun, pierced by a long amber hairpin ending in a small ball.
A dark green kimono slips from her right shoulder, left bare; the edges and the hem tilt toward a warm gold, and the sleeves feature a pattern of concentric waves and thin golden stripes. The rest of the torso dissolves into shadow, only ivory skin and the red lip respond to the shell’s light. A suspended moment, where all the world’s noise rests in a single hand.
A contemplative piece, ideal for bringing a touch of calm and depth to a collector’s interior devoted to portraits.

About Medsan / Popsan:
Medsan and Popsan are two signatures of a single artist. Under the name Medsan, he explores the world of 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 at the Atelier Joconde, a family of artists’ workshop, alongside Le Yack (figurative painting) and Neo Pablo (abstraction).
