All auctions / Contemporary Art / MEDSAN - Koi in the Bowl (鉢の中の鯉) - LIMITED EDITION
LIMITED EDITION - NUMBERED TO 20 On this square format, Medsan places a young woman alone in the shadows, standing facing the viewer, a large bowl held with both hands against her. She tilts her head, eyelids lowered, eyes fixed on the water she carries; her forehead, cheek, and red lips receive the single bright light of the scene, which rises from the bowl itself. Her black hair is pulled up, a few strands loose along the temples. The green-blue kimono opens widely at the chest and falls in deep pleats over the forearms; small golden floral motifs run along the sleeves and down the collar. In the bowl, an orange-red koi swims on the water’s surface, fins spread, a fine beard on each side of its mouth; the clear water brightens the hollow of the bowl and the fingers that hold it. All around, the dark brown background reveals nothing else. A scene of silent attentive focus, held with both hands. A collected and intimate piece, ideal for adding a touch of deep calm to an interior of a collector fond of Asia.

Under the name Medsan, he explores the world 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 Atelier Joconde, a family-run artists’ studio, alongside Le Yack (figurative painting) and Neo Pablo (abstract).
