]]>Berry is a world-renowned artist who creates captivating artworks, ranging from portraits to scenes of everyday urban life, using denim. At first, his works seem like elaborate blue paintings, but once approached closer, their true nature is revealed; every “brushstroke” is actually a piece of denim carefully placed on the surface.
Berry’s venture into making art with denim was influenced by street art he was exposed to in London in the 2000s. He initially started working with jeans as a side gig and got the idea to use the discarded denim to create an art piece after being in the company of artists using unusual materials.
The fascinating thing about Berry’s creations is that they are only made with the use of denim, scissors, and glue. He uses the pieces he has at his disposal and doesn’t incorporate any other material into his creative process, like bleach, paints, or dyes.
After more than 15 years working with denim, Berry became one of the most celebrated textile artists around. His works have been displayed in art galleries, museums, and public spaces across the world while finding their place in several public and private collections.

I was transfixed by the ripped, faded beauty of the fabric,” the artist told Catto Gallery. “How the different blues contrasted against each other in a sea of shades? I couldn’t part with them; they were part of who I was then. And who I am now.”
He creates his work using various colors of denim, but sometimes, he needs to bleach them to get the perfect shade. He then cuts them into different shapes and glues them together, creating beautiful and unique piece of artwork.
His creations have been seen in galleries all around the world and they have been featured in various media in all corners of the globe.
