AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Æ (Spain, XX-XXI)
“Ghost in the Shell” (1995)
Set of 3 works — AE’s Cyberpunk Anime Series
[refs. 1564 · 1565 · 1566]
In this monochrome triptych, Æ reflects on the quiet intensity of Ghost in the Shell — a world where identity feels fragile, memory flickers, and the boundary between body and machine slowly dissolves.
Across the three panels, the figure shifts between states of being: exposed, augmented, and in motion. Wind moves through synthetic hair; metal surfaces echo human vulnerability. Faces appear thoughtful rather than heroic, suspended in moments of doubt, awareness, and self-recognition. These are not scenes of action, but of consciousness awakening.
Rendered in stark blacks and pale whites, the images carry a grainy, tactile presence — as if lifted from a fading future archive. The work lingers on what Ghost in the Shell does best: asking not what technology can do, but what remains human once it has done everything.
Together, the triptych forms a quiet meditation on identity in an age of machines — elegant, melancholic, and unresolved.
Each piece is signed and individually finished, forming a cohesive yet intimate homage to one of cyberpunk’s most enduring visions.
• Total Size: 37 x 66 cm | 14.6 x 8.9 in. (each artwork: 37 x 22 cm).
• Original Art: Unique ink-style piece by Æ, highly collectible with only 10 variations.
• Medium: Hand-painted using spray paint and pastel crayons, signed and numbered.
• Certification: Includes a holographic seal of authenticity on the certificate card.
• Materials: Crafted on acid-free Hahnemühle rice paper for Sumi-e (Japanese for “black ink”) to ensure archival quality.
• Direct Sale: Sold and shipped directly from the artist’s studio—a great investment!
• Edition: Limited and authorized, with a registration ID in the artist’s official catalog.
About the Artist:
Æ, a Barcelona-based artist and designer, earned degrees in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies (2004) and East Asian Studies. Fascinated by digital mediums from an early age, Æ developed a distinct aesthetic influenced by minimalism, conceptual art, and skateboard graphics.
His works are held in private collections across over 30 countries, including The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Æ’s pieces have also been acquired by prestigious public collections, such as the Oriental Art Collection at the Zaragoza Museum (2024), which houses Spain’s most significant Eastern art archive.
Æ’s art is renowned for its minimalist approach, using a restrained palette and high-contrast imagery to evoke powerful emotions and explore themes like isolation, duality, and timelessness. His signature style incorporates stark contrasts, East Asian symbols, and iconic cultural imagery, compelling viewers to confront profound ideas with minimal visuals.
Critical Acclaim:
Thierry Fournier of Artnoises praised Æ’s work, describing it as:
“A transgression of borders, merging the DNA of civilization’s past and future. Æ creates a ticket for emotional teleportation—a minimalist aesthetic that propels us into a rich, timeless void filled with unexplored signs and symbols.”
