Æ (Spain, b. 1977) – “Jiji no Neko Atsume” (2025) Set of 3 Mixed-Media Artworks – Black Cat Reveries in Ink and Blossom Æ’s “Jiji no Neko Atsume” (2025) reimagines the iconic black cat through a poetic fusion of Edo-period print aesthetics and modern kawaii minimalism. Each panel portrays Jiji in a distinct reverie — playful, curious, and dream-struck — rendered in delicate monochrome contrasts that evoke both ink-wash serenity and vintage manga charm. Hand-finished with layers of spray paint, pastel crayon, and fine ink detailing, every piece carries unique tonal nuances and texture. The triptych reflects Æ’s signature dialogue between pop culture and classical Japanese composition, where nostalgia and quiet wonder converge in a single glance.

He has been experimenting since a young age with 1980s computer graphics, forging his own aesthetic influenced by minimalism, conceptual art, and skate culture. His work has been collected in over 30 countries worldwide — from The Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Collectors value the uniqueness in Æ2381’s style. Æ2381’s artwork is known for its minimalistic power: using stark contrast, a limited palette, and simple forms to explore themes of isolation, memory, and symbolic worlds. The result is work that feels both ancient and futuristic — often populated with Eastern characters, fractured geometry, and cultural references. Thierry Fournier, art curator and editor of Artnoises, writes: “Collected Æ2381 (XX), it comes down to wanting, breaking, transgressing an invisible border — 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 propel us to a Real Timeless. ★★★★★ – Artnoises * All images are as accurate as possible.
