POSTER WAW BIARRITZ 2025

From June 11 to 15, 2025

ARTWORK by Kiichi キイチ

We gave carte blanche to Japanese designer Kiichi (a fan of custom motorcycles and Baudelaire), who enthusiastically took up the challenge, drawing on his impressions of his first visit to Wheels and Waves Biarritz in 2024.

The poster, which he (quite simply) christened “Heaven’s door”, invites us to push open the doors to our universe. Behind them, adorned with komainu, the guardian creatures of the temple, Kiichi builds a bridge between Japan and the Basque Country through a scrolling design that blends the elegance of Japanese graphics with the emblematic themes of Wheels and Waves.

Artist's bio

Born in Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, lives in Honmoku, Yokohama City. After graduating from university, he worked as a stage actor and advertising designer, then established a design company and was involved in managing other businesses, but he felt uncomfortable with his life and turned to becoming an artist.

while working as a motor-related graphic artist, he is also launching a motorcycle T-shirt brand, “White Tees and Black Moto,” which focuses on Made in Japan and Japanese ART. The Sky Grade collection, created using Kiichi’s unique silkscreen technology, is as deep as an oil painting and as vivid as a watercolor painting. Awakening the original landscape that is sleeping deep within your heart. He also collaborates with domestic and international fashion brands, and produces visuals for motorcycle and automobile manufacturers and related celebrities.
