Gorilla thriller Inside the mind of Jamie Hewlett From the
legendary Tank Girl to live-action animations with art-pop
noisemakers Gorillaz, dabblings with 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 cocreator of the zeitgeist-defining
Tank Girl comic. With then-roommate, Blur frontman Damon Albarn, he
went on to create the unique cartoon band Gorillaz, a virtual pop
group of animated characters, which recorded four studio albums and
mounted breathtaking live spectacles. 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 Monkey animated sequence for the Beijing Olympic
Games. More recently, an exhibition of prints at the Saatchi
Gallery in London demonstrated an exciting new direction in Hewlett
s practice. This new TASCHEN edition, Hewlett s first major
monograph, illustrates this thrilling creative journey with over
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.Text in English, French, and
German"
