From the legendary Tank Girl to live-action animations with
Gorillaz, a Chinese contemporary opera to an exhibition at the
Saatchi Gallery, artist Jamie Hewlett is one of the most energetic
figures of contemporary pop culture. With influences ranging from
hip hop to zombie slasher movies, Hewlett emerged in the mid-1990s
as co-creator of the zeitgeist-defining Tank Girl comic. With
then-roommate Damon Albarn, he went on to create the groundbreaking
cartoon band Gorillaz. The award-winning virtual pop group of
animated characters is a truly global phenomenon. Gorillaz have
topped charts around the world, toured the globe from San Diego to
Syria, and picked up hundreds of millions of streams and record
sales along the way. Since then, Hewlett has continued to
collaborate with Albarn on projects including an elaborate staging
of the Chinese novel Monkey: Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en,
complete with circus acrobats, Shaolin monks, and Chinese singers.
In 2006, he was named Designer of the Year by the Design Museum in
London, and in 2009, Hewlett and Albarn won a BAFTA for their
animated Monkey sequence for the Beijing Olympic Games. In 2015 The
Suggestionists, an exhibition of prints at the Saatchi Gallery in
London, demonstrated an exciting new direction in Hewlett's
practice. This special edition celebrating TASCHEN's 40th
anniversary updates Hewlett's first major monograph with around 30
brand new pieces. The book illustrates his thrilling creative
journey with more than 400 artworks from the Tank Girl era through
Gorillaz and up to the present day. Through stories, characters,
strips, and sketches, we trace Hewlett's exceptional capacity for
invention and celebrate a polymath artist who refuses to rest on
his laurels, or to be pigeonholed into a particular practice. About
the series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural
archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with
accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate
their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an
unbeatable price. Today we celebrate 40 years of incredible books
by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents new
editions of some of the stars of our program-now more compact,
friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to
impeccable production.
