All auctions / Contemporary Art / MEDSAN - Koi Tear (鯉の涙) - LIMITED EDITION
LIMITED EDITION - NUMBERED TO 20 In this square format, Medsan frames the face of a young woman as close as possible, from the eyebrow to the corner of the lips. She gazes to the left, the eyelid lowered, the green-and-gold eye outlined with a red line that rises toward the temple. A tear departs from the inner corner of the eye, slides down the cheek, and rounds into a broad drop at the middle of the face. Within that drop lives an entire basin: water green and blue, a white water lily with a yellow center, and an orange-and-white koi that descends toward the bottom of the tear, with fins spread. To the right, a red camellia with a golden center leans against black hair, surrounded by dark green leaves. Pale pink petals detach and rest on the cheek. The background remains light, between off-white and pinkish gray. The whole weight of the scene rests in what that tear carries. A contemplative and intimate piece, ideal for adding a poetic touch to a minimalist collector’s interior faithful to the feminine figure.

Under the name Medsan, he explores the realms 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 works at the Atelier Joconde, a family artist workshop, alongside Le Yack (figurative painting) and Neo Pablo (abstraction).
