Description from the seller
Æ (Spain, b. 1977) – “Jiji: Midnight in Paris” (2025) – Hand-signed, numbered & CoA
*** BUNDLE!! You are bidding for 3 beautiful artworks from Æ’s “Jiji Collection”, inspired by the mysterious charm of Jiji and reimagined through a poetic fusion of Japanese imagery, Parisian landscapes and vintage illustration. Each artwork is individually hand-finished, hand-signed and numbered from a limited edition of only 10. ***
◉ Total size: 37 × 66 cm. 3 artworks, each 37 × 22 cm.
◉ Original mixed-media artworks by artist Æ. Limited edition of only 10 unique variations.
◉ Individually hand-painted using spray paint and pastel crayons. Hand-signed and numbered.
◉ Authenticated by a holographic security seal on the included certificate of authenticity.
◉ Made on acid-free Hahnemühle rice paper for Sumi-e (Japanese “black ink” painting), ensuring archival standards.
◉ Limited and authorized, with registration ID corresponding to the artist’s official catalogue.
Artist and designer Æ holds a Bachelor's Degree in Digital Design and Multimedia Technologies (Barcelona, 2004) and a Bachelor's Degree in East Asian Studies. He has been creating and experimenting since an early age with the visual language of 1980s computer graphics, developing his own aesthetic influenced by minimalism, conceptual art, Japanese culture and skateboard graphics.
His artworks can now be found in private collections in more than 30 countries around the world, from the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy to Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Collectors appreciate the distinctive and immediately recognizable character of Æ’s work.
Æ's artwork is characterized by a spare, minimalistic visual language, using a limited palette, strong contrasts and carefully selected imagery to convey complex emotions and ideas. Stark black-and-white compositions emphasize contrasts between light and darkness, familiarity and mystery, nostalgia and imagination.
In this triptych, the enigmatic black cat Jiji moves through a dreamlike world where Japanese visual culture encounters the romantic atmosphere of Paris. The Eiffel Tower, old books, blossoms and intimate interiors create three connected scenes that feel simultaneously nostalgic, playful and mysterious. The monochromatic treatment and vintage illustration aesthetic give the series the character of forgotten storybook pages or rediscovered Japanese graphic works.
Æ’s work was the subject of a review by respected exhibition art curator Thierry Fournier (Artnoises).
"Collected AE (XX), it comes down to wanting, breaking, transgressing, an invisible border, to merging the civilizational DNA of the future and the past, looking down and in the same second, rocking! the work becomes a ticket, a simple "go !" for an emotional teleportation that we live and see in “Black and white”! Æ2381 pushes you to jump into a void, in fact, populated with images, symbols, unexplored signs that propels us to a Real Timeless!"
