AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD — EDITION 1/1
In this square format, Popsan imagines a Japanese advertisement from the 1980s bringing together Dragon Ball and Nintendo’s Famicom. At the center, young Son Goku rides his yellow cloud, red staff in hand, fist outstretched and mouth wide open, before a radiant red sun. Orange Dragon Balls marked with stars float around him, while Shenron, the green dragon with red eyes, unfurls his long body on the right.
Below sits the red-and-cream console marked FAMILY COMPUTER, with its Dragon Ball cartridge and controller. The scene combines snow-capped Mount Fuji, a shopping street with a GAME sign, the pink Kame House on its palm-fringed island, a huge wave capped with white foam, and a sea turtle wearing black sunglasses as it swims through the water. Black-and-white photos show Japanese children laughing with controllers in hand. On the left, ドラゴンボール rises in large red letters. Red, ocean blue, orange, and dragon green dominate the palette. It captures the excitement of afternoons spent in front of the console.
A vibrant, nostalgic piece, ideal for adding a retro touch to the home of a manga and video game collector.

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