Textile artist Ian Berry has been working for 12 years with Denim. During this time Ian has developed a technique to make the art look like paintings or even photorealism.
Ian creates scenes, portraits, and installations in his chosen material and was proud to be named a 30 under 30 artist in the world. He says:
The work is not just about it being in jeans, it’s just my medium, the way of painting our contemporary lives, out of the of material or time.
In this interview, part of our From conception to creation series, Ian walks us through the process of making his 2017 installation The Secret Garden, which is on view at the Children’s Museum of the Arts in New York, until April 2018.

Journalists flooded Iran’s National Museum on Monday for the arrival of more than 50 artworks from the Louvre — the first major show by a Western museum in the country’s history. The show reflects France’s determined use of cultural diplomacy as it seeks to rebuild traditional ties with Iran, even as their officials hold tense talks over political and security issues. The doors were unsealed for journalists at the National Museum in central Tehran, which is currently celebrating its 80th anniversary, a day ahead of the public opening. Among the items shipped over by cargo plane were a 2,400-year-old Egyptian sphinx, a bust of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius and drawings by Rembrandt and Delacroix. “Some were definitely easier to transport than others,” said Judith Henon, one of the experts sent by the Louvre.

Georg Baselitz (born in 1938 in Deutschbaselitz, Saxony) is considered one of the world’s greatest masters of contemporary painting.
