While for most of us blue jeans are just a piece of clothing, London-based artist Ian Berry, aka Denium, sees the world through denim. He creates incredibly detailed artworks made solely out of denim – as he believes that ‘denim’ is one of the dominant parts of urban lifestyle. His art revolves around melancholic urban spaces, usually depicting life in a city.

Berry uses old jeans, jackets, and other denim clothing to make monochromatic portraits, urbanscapes, and other unique works. He has even adopted the name Denium, the Japanese phonetic spelling of denim, to reveal his obsession with blue jeans.

These detailed scenes awash in the natural blues of denim, which gives a unique touch to each artwork. He cut pieces of denim into precise shapes before painstakingly gluing them all together. To achieve different looks, he sometimes uses bleach, either with a stencil and spray, or experiments with different color jeans.

He often hunts around charity shops looking for old jeans, and even gather some discarded ones from family and friends. He also has a supply from a local warehouse.His artwork has been featured in galleries across Sweden, Portugal (Calheta Madeira), United States (New Orleans, Miami, Fairmont, Asbury Park), as well as United Kingdom (London). He also did a mural on a wall in Indiana, USA, which measured eight feet by eight feet.
