British artist uses old blue jeans for art

12:38 • 10.07.12



Netherton-born artist Ian Berry, who now lives in Sweden, has made quite a name for himself after his unique art, called Denimu, took the art world by storm, Oddity Central said.

The idea reportedly struck him after his mother, Christine, asking him to clean out his room about a couple of years ago.

“It was about six or seven years ago my mum was clearing out my old room and she wanted me to go through my things. I found loads of old jeans and denims and I noticed the different colors and shades. I kept hold of them but it was only about 18 months later I began to do something with them,” he said.
