WATERWORLD

The print is an original interpretation of an image inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige's masterpiece, Sudden Shower over Shin-Ohashi Bridge and Atake.The imposing bridge cutting across the picture appears to connect the present with the future. Over the bridge, which has been "designed" employing Lovegrove's characteristically beautiful curved lines, people wearing clothing representative of the near-future come and go. Meanwhile, the clouds and rain in the background are portrayed using traditional ukiyo-e techniques, creating a work that combines the traditional with the contemporary to striking effect.

Born in the United Kingdom in 1958, Lovegrove has been working as a designer since the early 1980s. He has won numerous international awards, and secured his position as a designer at the worldwide level in 1998 when he unveiled his elegantly contoured "Go Chair". His work is exhibited in New York at the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim Museum, as well as at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and elsewhere.

The "Homage to Ukiyoe" project, first exhibited as part of the Tokyo Design Week in Milano Salone 2015, enabled six of the world's most renowned comtemporary artists and designers to become ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodcut print) artists. Collaborating with the carvers and printers of the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints, and guided by the "Homage to Ukiyoe" theme, these currently active creators produced contemporary ukiyo-e expressing their own individual interpretations of the woodcut prints of Japan's Edo period (1603–1867) that influenced Van Gogh and Monet. The participating creators included Dan Schlesinger, who is famous for creating the cover art for the Japanese edition of the Harry Potter series, and James Jean, who has designed artwork for Prada.
