For years Ian Berry had portrayed isolation whether in scenes of solitude in a bar or lonely scenes in a launderette but it was Behind Closed Doors, showing scenes of melancholy within the home, that took a new context this year.

However these were all cancelled due to lockdown. He quickly started <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ianberry.org\/stuck-behind-closed-doors\">Stay Behind Closed Doors<\/a> where he asked his photographer friends to take some pictures in their isolation. They ended up coming in from famous photographers and amateurs alike, including my own! Many of these were shown \u00e2\u20ac\u201c lasered in denim as a backdrop with then 16 shown printed. Many more then revolving on a screen \u00e2\u20ac\u201c making a fine introduction to Splendid Isolation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With famous installations like the Record Store, Launderette and Secret Garden, it was fitting that the highlight of this show was Ian Berry remaking his living room from lockdown all in denim, including denim chesterfield, records, books and plants. It even went into his bedroom including a beautiful bedspread by Bridge and Tunnel and two pieces of a sleeping lady. Mirrored opposite in the Main Hall it was created in 2D also, but of course most of the work isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t two dimensional &#8211; if you have ever seen his work you will know it is layers and layers of denim used to create amazingly textured pieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the room , famed Behind Closed Doors was next to a new piece, <em>Con\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Hall<\/em>, made during lock down and really conveying many of our lives this year. When leaving the main hall you see First Sun, first made in 2012 but like many of the textile artist\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcs work it has taken on a new life this year &#8211;&nbsp; with lockdown in the UK many of the parks ended up being full. The scene portraying the rush to get to the first of London\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s spring sun and struggling to find a blade of grass amongst the families, friends and backpackers all taking their picnics and BBQ\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-685x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-685x1024.jpg 685w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-770x1151.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-1028x1536.jpg 1028w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-1371x2048.jpg 1371w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-293x438.jpg 293w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-1400x2092.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cons-hall-1-scaled.jpg 1713w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A favourite piece of many of Ian Berry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s work is the Secret Garden &#8211; we first reported on it in the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/denim\/secret-garden-installation-childrens-museum-arts-ian-berry-new-york\/30902\">Secret Garden<\/a> in New York.

Pepe Jeans London was the headline sponsor; they have been buying at least a piece per exhibition of Ian Berry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s solo exhibitions since 2013 and have also been supplying him with jeans to work with. Ian Berry made an installation of a CCTV control room for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drapersonline.com\/insight\/store-design\/pepe-jeans-brings-high-tech-playfulness-to-regent-street\">Pepe Jeans

After that the next major show will be in the Fall at <strong>Textil Museet &#8211; the National Textile Museum of Sweden<\/strong>. The success of Ian Berry in the art world makes many of us happy that he takes our material and turns it to art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ian Berry has been working with jeans for over 15 years and is the industry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s highest regarded artist who pushed it as an art form. Those who managed to see the exhibition at the Museum Rijswijk saw the details and level of craftmanship that can be missed when viewing online. They were not only wowed by his technique but also the feeling the work conveyed, that draws you in. The work, the majority already sold, spanned the last ten years of his career and explored much of his journey with denim as a medium.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not all about denim. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just his paint, his way of showing the world \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcand what better medium to use than the material of our time; <strong>Jeans<\/strong>\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 And of course this year he pushed out of using just denim, with projections managing to spread his work around the world with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denimsandjeans.com\/recovery\/news\/denim-clapping-hands-seen-all-around-the-world\/44586\">I Clap For<\/a> with his son Elliott.
