Jamie Hewlett is remembered for work the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Jamie Hewlett as British comic book artist (born 1968).
Jamie Hewlett was born at Hawarden in 1968. His recorded nationality is United Kingdom. He trained at Northbrook College and Tanbridge House School.
Contemporary practice spans painting, photography, installation and digital media, with biennials and galleries setting reputations.
He worked as comics artist, illustrator and screenwriter.
A painting outlives the argument about it, which is the only durable form of an artistic reputation.
That the work was made in United Kingdom shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Jamie Hewlett is still working, and the shape of the body of work is not yet settled.
