John Warwicker<br />
<strong>The</strong> Floating World: Ukiyo-e<br />
Inspired by the ancient Japanese artists of Ukiyo-e and a polymath’s myriad references, John Warwicker has for over<br />
15 years been one of the most original thinkers in the design and creative industries. As a founding member of Tomato,<br />
he established an international reputation in the 1990s and has been formative in shaping popular media.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Floating World: Ukiyo-e is the first monograph of John Warwicker’s work. Rather than simply collecting together<br />
old work from commercial commissions and personal projects, Warwicker has written and designed an extensive book<br />
that only occasionally references prior work and which sets out to document his experience in an authentic voice. He<br />
has taken the themes, ideas, histories and memories which have informed and influenced him to produce a<br />
sophisticated and yet elegiac book constructed from his critical writings, photography, drawings, film, print,<br />
typography, poetry and prose. Every text page is an original artwork, delicately constructed in layers of typography, and<br />
the interwoven illustrations confirm Warwicker as an innovative visual artist.<br />
