Description from the seller
Æ (XX–XXI)
Daft Punk — Between Machine & Memory (Set of 3)
Hand-Finished · Signed · Numbered · Certificate of Authenticity Included
This monochrome triptych pays tribute to Daft Punk, the pioneering electronic duo whose fusion of music, technology, and visual identity redefined contemporary culture. Through three complementary compositions, Æ explores the relationship between humanity and machinery, where anonymity becomes identity and performance becomes mythology.
The first composition evokes the origins of electronic music, bringing together tradition and innovation through a dialogue between human gesture and mechanical precision. The central work captures the creative partnership at the heart of Daft Punk, celebrating rhythm, collaboration, and the transformative power of sound. The final composition isolates the iconic helmet as a timeless symbol, transcending portraiture to become an enduring emblem of imagination, technology, and artistic reinvention.
Inspired by Japanese graphic design, vintage manga publications, retro-futurist imagery, and expressive ink techniques, the compositions combine dramatic monochrome contrast with distressed textures and layered graphic elements. Their weathered surfaces recall classic music magazines and underground posters while maintaining a distinctly contemporary visual language.
Executed entirely in black and white, the works favor atmosphere over documentary realism. Light and shadow become expressive forces, translating rhythm, repetition, and movement into symbolic visual forms that feel both timeless and contemporary.
Each artwork is individually hand-finished using spray paint and pastel crayons, introducing subtle variations in texture and tonal depth while preserving consistency across the edition. Every triptych is therefore unique.

About the Artist
Æ (XX–XXI) is a multimedia artist whose practice combines contemporary visual culture, Japanese aesthetics, music, cinema, and minimalist graphic language. Holding degrees in Digital Design & Multimedia Technologies and East Asian Studies, his work explores memory, mythology, identity, and the emotional power of iconic imagery.
His artworks are held in private collections throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, including works acquired by the Oriental Art Collection of the Zaragoza Museum.
Working primarily in monochrome, Æ employs reduction, contrast, and symbolic forms to create images that exist between contemporary pop culture and timeless visual archetypes. His compositions frequently draw inspiration from Japanese printmaking, music, cinema, and underground publishing traditions.
Critical Acclaim
Thierry Fournier of Artnoises described Æ’s work 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.”
