AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Æ (XX-XXI) - Jazz Legends Bundle (X3): "Miles Davis" "John Coltrane" – Hand-painted, signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (refs. 1318 1319).

Artist Æ’s jazz-inspired works pay homage to the genius of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, blending abstraction with rhythmic visual motifs that echo the improvisational nature of jazz itself. These pieces capture the energy, spontaneity, and emotional depth of two of the genre’s most iconic pioneers, translating sonic complexity into striking visual expression. From Coltrane’s spiritual intensity to Davis’s cool innovation, each artwork becomes a visual solo — bold, expressive, and transcendent.

◉ Total size: 37 x 22 cm (2 artworks, each 37 x 22 cm).
◉ Original ink-style artworks by artist Æ, part of a limited edition with only 10 unique variations.
◉ Hand-painted using spray paint and pastel crayons, each piece is hand-signed and numbered.
◉ Authenticated with a holographic seal of authenticity on the included certificate card.
◉ Created on acid-free Hahnemühle rice paper for Sumi-e (Japanese for “black ink”), ensuring archival quality.
◉ Limited and authorized edition, registered with an ID and listed in the artist’s official catalog.

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. Drawn to digital mediums from an early age, Æ has been creating and experimenting since the era of 1980s computer graphics, developing a unique aesthetic influenced by minimalism, conceptual art, and skateboard graphics. His works are featured in private collections across more than 30 countries, including The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Notably, his pieces are also part of public collections, such as the Oriental Art Collection at the Zaragoza Museum (2024), home to Spain’s most significant collection of Eastern art.

Æ’s artwork is defined by its minimalist style, employing a restrained palette and simple forms to convey profound emotions and ideas. His frequent use of stark, high-contrast imagery accentuates the interplay between light and darkness, hope and despair. This minimalist approach fosters an eerie, unsettling atmosphere that amplifies themes of isolation. Through this pared-down aesthetic, Æ achieves a powerful emotional impact with minimal imagery, compelling the viewer to confront the stark realities of a new world, rich with symbols, East Asian characters, and iconic imagery.

Artist was the subject of a review by respected exhibitions 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!”
— T. Fournier (Artnoises) ★★★★★
