Description from the seller
Æ (XX–XXI) – Iron Maiden: Beyond Human Memory (2026) – Set of 3 – Hand-signed & CoA
**BUNDLE!!** You are bidding for **3 original artworks** from Æ’s **“Iron Maiden Series”**, hand-finished on archival-grade paper, individually numbered and hand-signed by the artist.
◉ **Total size:** 37 × 66 cm. Each artwork: 37 × 22 cm.
◉ Inspired by **Iron Maiden, Eddie, Japanese underground manga and psychedelic graphic design**.
◉ **Hand-finished using spray paint and mixed inks.**
◉ Hand-signed, numbered and authenticated with a **holographic Certificate of Authenticity**.
◉ **Acid-free Hahnemühle rice paper for Sumi-e.**
◉ Registered with an individual **catalogue ID**.
Artist and designer **Æ** (Bachelor’s in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies, Barcelona, 2004 + Bachelor’s Degree in East Asian Studies) creates monochrome works combining Japanese visual culture, conceptual art and underground graphic design. His artworks are held in private collections in **more than 30 countries worldwide**.
In this triptych, **Iron Maiden’s legendary mascot Eddie** is reimagined through the visual language of 1970s Japanese underground magazines, science-fiction manga and counterculture printmaking.
Across the three compositions, Eddie appears as an ancient pharaoh, an apocalyptic figure and an undead warrior. Dense hand-drawn textures, distressed typography, celestial imagery and dystopian landscapes transform Iron Maiden’s iconic visual universe into pages from an imaginary Japanese heavy-metal publication.
Viewed together, the works form **three fragments of an imagined underground archive**, celebrating the horror, mythology, science fiction and theatrical darkness associated with one of heavy metal’s most recognizable figures.
The artist was the subject of a ★★★★★ review by exhibition art curator **Thierry Fournier (Artnoises)**, who described Æ’s work as an encounter between “the future and the past” and an emotional journey experienced in **“Black and White.”**
* Colors and appearance may vary slightly depending on lighting and monitor settings.
** Immediate insured shipping after payment.
*** Frames shown are for presentation purposes only. Combined shipping is available.
**PRO and TOP seller with 100% positive feedback.** Carefully packaged for safe delivery.
