KANEDA · NEO-TOKYO · 1988
Few visual worlds have shaped the language of cyberpunk as profoundly as AKIRA.
This triptych reimagines Neo-Tokyo through three dense monochrome compositions centred around Kaneda, his motorcycle, monumental city architecture, apocalyptic celestial forms and the visual overload of a metropolis on the verge of collapse.
Rather than presenting AKIRA as clean cinematic imagery, Æ pushes it through the aesthetics of deteriorated Japanese print culture: heavy halftones, damaged ink, xerox-like degradation, imperfect surfaces, harsh blacks and oversized Japanese typography.
The artworks feel intentionally archaeological — as if they belonged to a forgotten collection of late-1980s underground science-fiction prints, street posters or experimental manga publications recovered from Neo-Tokyo itself.
Across the three compositions, Kaneda moves from character to icon. His motorcycle becomes simultaneously machine, design object and symbol of rebellion, while Neo-Tokyo looms behind him as a vast technological organism.
For cyberpunk collectors, the triptych brings together several of the genre’s defining motifs: urban collapse, youth rebellion, technological acceleration, motorcycles, megacities, Japanese typography and the uneasy relationship between destruction and progress.
Limited to only 4 unique variations, the set is intended as a compact collector’s tribute to one of the defining works of Japanese animation and science-fiction culture.
THE ARTIST
Artist and designer Æ holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies (Barcelona, 2004), together with a Bachelor’s Degree in East Asian Studies.
His work draws from Japanese visual culture, retro-futurism, experimental printmaking, underground manga, early computer graphics and the rough immediacy of skateboard and street graphics.
Æ’s artworks are held in private collections in more than 30 countries around the world, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, France, Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
His characteristic high-contrast black-and-white language uses carefully selected imagery, visual noise and distressed surfaces to create works suspended between cultural memory and speculative futures.
Æ’s work was reviewed by exhibition curator Thierry Fournier (Artnoises):
“Collected AE (XX), it comes down to wanting, breaking, transgressing, an invisible border... the work becomes a ticket... for an emotional teleportation that we live and see in ‘Black and white’...”
— Thierry Fournier (Artnoises) ★★★★★
