To see more pictures from the book, please visit my blog via my Amazon profile link. Zawa-zawa is a stunning new art book by renowned Australian artist Ashley Wood, and his first art book published in Japan (PIE Books). The volume features a huge collection of the artist’s best works, almost 400 pieces spread across 240 pages and gives a great comprehensive overview of Ashley Wood’s prolific portfolio. The artist’s foreword for the book is reproduced verbatim below : “I have for many years enjoyed and been inspired by many Japanese artists, their history and work have defined and instructed the path of many artists outside of their home country, from the early influence of the wooden prints to modern manga and anime. I’m no different, the visual culture of Japan has played a role in my artistic ideal from my first experience with manga such as Mighty Atom by Ozamu Tezuka to photographers such as Nobuyoshi Araki, inspiring and demanding to push and look deeper ! With this book, I feel a milestone has been reached, it’s hard to explain, but it’s special and it makes me feel closer to something I dearly love, the visual language of Japanese comics and art.” There were so many beautiful pieces in this book I had a hard time deciding which ones to showcase in this post. On a technical note the print size of the book isn’t as big as I wish, but that can be said of many other books. Highly recommended.

Stunning artwork and great book.

Stunning artwork and great book.

A great selection of artworks, not a lot of text (of which there is an English translation - I think this was a book intended for eastern art show) typical Ashley Wood themes!

Stunning visuals

One of the best artbook

I love his oil painting.

Sie lieben gigantische Wummen, abwechselnd in schweren Robotereisenpranken oder zarten Mädchenhänden? Elfen mit gigantischen Samuraischwertern oder dem Versprechen von Lolitasex? Dazu Schmutz, Gewalt und malerische Ruinen, in denen rotzige Kids gegen undiffinierte Mächte des Bösen kämpfen? Große Gesten in geborgten Welten? All das setzt Ashley Wood immer wieder perfekt in Szene und ja es stimmt: Er kennt die Mangas und japanischen Holzschnittkünstler sehr genau, um sich hier immer wieder in Themen und Bildaufteilungen schwer inspirieren zu lassen.

This is a very stunning collection of Mr ASHLEY WOOD's awesomeness. Absolutely do not worry about the smaller size of this book just go ahead and buy it for sure. Its beautiful even in smaller size. Contains various beautiful acrylic and ink art. The art has sporadic energy and its fearlessly expressed as if Mr Wood didn't want any of these strokes to escape by working slower. Its absolutely stunning. Contains many pieces which are not visible online any where. Its a beautiful collection of this master's absolutely stunning and edgy imagination. Just go for it if you are a fan...just go for it even if you have not yet fallen for the master's work...you will become a life long fan instantly.

... si vous aimez la peinture ou les beaux dessins, les univers modernes, de SF ou érotiques. Pour les fans de Tank Girl quelques pages lui sont dédiées en fin d'ouvrage(qui est consistant,+200pages). Il n'y a aucun commentaire uniquement des dessins vous pouvez donc prendre n'importe quelle édition étrangère à moitié prix par rapport à la distribution française(pas de différence,C'EST LE MEME BOUQUIN),édition japonaise pour ma part 22€ au lieu de 42€. Personnellement j'adore l'univers de cet artiste,nombre de ses oeuvres sont visualisables sur internet,ne vous gênez pas.

Bello stile e belle stampe, un po piccolo come formato ma merita comunque la sua visione.
