JEANS IN ART
Jeans have become an integral part of contemporary costume. Unlike many other objects or clothing, it presents an unusual ability to adapt, making itself available to a myriad of meanings: even in art.
Jeans, after all, tell stories, the more they are used and lived the more they contain moments, memories, experiences and so one day the (Swedish adopted) artist Ian Berry rearranging his wardrobe, wondering when he saw all his beloved jeans : Why not give it new life instead of throwing it in the dumpster? here was born the collection of works of art called Denimu.
Ian Berry soon became famous and his jeans works were bought by private collectors and galleries around the world. His favorite subjects are portraits of pop stars and chaotic urban spaces that he models on the iconic fabric, shaping it as if it was a real canvas.
