AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD — EDITION 1/1
In this square-format work, Popsan leads Batman, the DC Comics vigilante, up a staircase beneath the large vermilion gate of a mountain shrine. Seen from behind, motionless on the moss-covered steps, he gazes out over the valley, his tattered cape lifted by the wind. Above him, the plaque on the gate bears the shrine’s name, 山嶽神社, and a braided rope hangs straw tassels and zigzag white paper strips. Red and orange maple branches spill into the upper left corner, a few leaves drift down, and a lit stone lantern keeps watch over the rocks.
Down below, beneath a crescent moon, night falls over mist-shrouded blue hills: a village with golden-lit windows, bridges dotted with lanterns spanning a river, and a pagoda among russet trees. In the lower left, the cartouche 山頂の夕, “Evening at the Summit.” Midnight blue, the gate’s vermilion, and the warm gold of the lights share the scene: a guardian watching over the sleeping valley.
A serene and mysterious piece, ideal for bringing a touch of nocturnal Japan to a comic-book collector’s home.

About Popsan (Medsan):
Popsan and Medsan are two signatures used by the same artist. Under the name Popsan, he reimagines icons of popular culture by blending pop art, Japanese art, and anachronisms; under the name Medsan, he explores the worlds of medicine and anatomy. His pop art, long featured on Catawiki under the name Medsan, is now appearing under his own signature, Popsan. He works at Atelier Joconde, a family-run artists’ studio, alongside artists Le Yack (figurative painting) and Neo Pablo (abstraction).
