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.

"À propos de l’auteur: Le britannique Jamie Hewlett est un artiste et un producteur prolifique de matières toujours nouvelles auxquelles il insuffle une sensibilité punk. Évoluant entre design, art et musique, le co-créateur de Tank Girl et du groupe virtuel Gorillaz a été nommé Designer de l’année par le Design Museum en 2006 et a organisé sa première exposition solo à la Saatchi Gallery de Londres en 2015.^À propos de l’éditeur: Julius Wiedemann a étudié le graphisme et le marketing. Avant de rejoindre TASCHEN en 2001, il fut le directeur artistique de journaux et magazines spécialisés dans le design à Tokyo. Parmi ses titres figurent les séries Illustration Now! et Record Covers, la collection de livres sur l’infographie et des ouvrages sur la publicité et la culture visuelle."
Geprägt von Einflüssen, die von Hip-Hop bis zu Slasher-Filmen reichen, trat Hewlett Mitte der 1990er-Jahre als Zeichner des Comics Tank Girl erstmals ins Rampenlicht. Mit seinem damaligen Mitbewohner Damon Albarn gründete er später die wegweisende Cartoonband Gorillaz. Die preisgekrönte virtuelle Popgruppe aus animierten Figuren entwickelte sich zu einem globalen Phänomen. Gorillaz stürmten weltweit die Hitlisten, tourten um den Globus, von San Diego bis Syrien, und verzeichneten Hunderte von Millionen Streams und Plattenverkäufe.
Im Jahre 2006 wurde Hewlett vom Londoner Design Museum zum "Designer des Jahres" gekürt, und 2009 erhielten er und Albarn einen Bafta für ihren animierten Affenfilm für die Olympischen Spiele in Peking. Ebenfalls mit Albarn realisierte er die spektakuläre Oper Monkey - Journey to the West nach dem chinesischen Roman Xi Yóu Ji von Wu Cheng'en, die 2007 in Manchester uraufgeführt wurde. Mit der Ausstellung The Suggestionists im Jahr 2015 in der Londoner Saatchi Gallery zeigte Hewlett eine aufregende neue Seite seiner Arbeit.
Diese Sonderausgabe zum 40-jährigen Jubiläum von TASCHEN aktualisiert Hewletts allererste große Monografie mit ca. 30 brandneuen Arbeiten in einem kompakteren Format. Damit folgen wir Hewletts künstlerischem Werdegang mit weit über 400 seiner Werke, von der Ära Tank Girl und den Gorillaz bis hin zu allerneuesten Aktivitäten. Anhand von Geschichten, Figuren, Strips und Skizzen zeichnen wir den außergewöhnlichen Erfindungsreichtum eines Künstlers nach, der sich nicht auf seinen Lorbeeren ausruhen oder in irgendeine Schublade gesteckt werden will.
