MEDSAN - Kirby Riding the Great Wave (大波に乗るカービィ) - UNIQUE WORK

THERE IS ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD - EDITION 1/1 On this square format, Medsan launches Kirby, Nintendo's little pink hero, at the assault of a huge wave. Crouched on a red surfboard, one arm extended forward to keep balance, he cuts through the tube, mouth wide open and blue eyes wide with joy. Above him, the crest curls into foam-clawing ridges and lets fall a rain of droplets on a gray-blue sky traversed with cream-colored clouds. Further down, two long wooden boats dive into the hollows, where rowers wearing conical hats lean over their oars, without a glance for the surfer. In the distance, between two blades, a small Mount Fuji rises with a snowy summit. In the upper left, a vertical cartouche carries black Japanese characters, and below are two other characters accompanying a small red seal. Everything is deep indigo, light blue and cream: only Kirby’s pink and his board’s red warm the sea. The ocean roils, and he has fun. A joyful and graphic piece, ideal for bringing a touch of Japanese freshness to the interior of a video game and pop art collector.
