Ian Berry who many of you will know with his work made solely in denim has just launched a new collection of works called 'Hotel California' in a London Solo exhibition at the Catto Gallery, opening June 30th. For those who have been lucky enough to see them in real life, for example at Paducah last year they have to be seen to be believed and if you can see in London please take our advice to do so! Made only of denim jeans they are layered and textured and appear like paintings until at touching difference. The work is based on his period in Los Angeles last year.
The Artist who was named as a top 30 under 30 in the world a few years ago and has been creating these painstakingly detailed works for nearly 15 years has now landed another accolade, but he needs our help! He is on the final 100 shortlist for the top 50 influential people in denim for 2019. Give him your vote at www.rivet50.com (It is on the last page of five and looks like the image below.). VOTING ENDS ON JUNE 28, 2019.

I saw his exhibit last year at Paducah. It was my first trip to this quilt show and I wanted to go specifically because he was going to be there. I have been watching his work for several years. It’s just incredible. Definitely worth the trip.
Do you know the intent and meaning of “Hotel California”?
