AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD EXISTS - EDITION 1/1

On this square format, Popsan launches Hello Kitty, Sanrio's heroine, at the crest of a giant wave off the coast of Japan. Standing on a pink surfboard speckled with white cherry blossoms, she stretches her arms to keep her balance, the red bow neatly in place on her ear, and fixes the viewer with her jet-black, impassive eyes. She wears a midnight-blue yukata with white flowers, cinched with a light-colored belt.

Around her, the wave rises into an indigo wall whose crest breaks into foam claws and a shower of white droplets. Three narrow boats, loaded with bowed rowers, dive into the troughs. In the distance, under a pale blue sky crossed by cream clouds, the snowy Mount Fuji peeks, tiny, on the dark horizon. In the top left, two vertical kanji cartouches. The indigo of the sea, the cream of the foam, the red of the bow, and the pink of the board harmonize. A scene where sailors' fear crosses with the most joyful carefree mood.

A piece full of humor, ideal for adding a Japanese, colorful touch to a collector's pop culture interior.

About Popsan (Medsan):
Popsan and Medsan are two signatures of the same 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 shown on Catawiki under the name Medsan, now appear under their own signature, Popsan. He creates at Atelier Joconde, a family artists' studio, alongside artists Le Yack (figurative painting) and Neo Pablo (abstraction).
