AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD EXISTS - EDITION 1/1

In this square format, Popsan launches Sonic, Sega's blue hedgehog, on a gigantic wave. Standing on a white surfboard, knees bent and arms spread to balance, he streaks to the right with his sly smile and determined gaze. His red shoes with yellow buckles and white gloves stand out clearly against the blue water. Behind him, the crest curves into foam-like claws and showers the sky with a rain of white droplets under the clear sky.
Two long light-wood boats struggle against the swells, one on the left, the other at the bottom right. Their rowers are bowed under their white helmets and do not lift their eyes toward the surfer. In the distance, beneath a few cream clouds, the snow-capped Mount Fuji dominates a narrow strip of coastline. In the upper left, a vertical cartouche of green Japanese characters rises. The palette is anchored by indigo blue, white foam, and pale sky, with the red of the shoes the only color to wake it up. The fastest hedgehog in video games has finally found a wave to suit him.

A vivid, lively piece, perfect for adding a retro nostalgic touch to a collector’s home of video games and Japanese art.

About Popsan (Medsan):
Popsan and Medsan are two signatures for a single artist. Under the name Popsan, he revisits icons of popular culture by blending pop art, Japanese art, and anachronisms; under the name Medsan, he explores the world of medicine and anatomy. His pop works, long presented on Catawiki under the name Medsan, are now released under their own signature, Popsan. He creates within Atelier Joconde, a family artists’ studio, alongside Le Yack (figurative painting) and Neo Pablo (abstraction).
