From that moment on, inspired by his old pair of jeans and using scissors and glue, Ian started creating his own denim world, transforming old pair of cheap true religion jeansinto art. But from a museum to your living room it is a short step ...in fact Ian has just opened his own online shop, just in time for Christmas. After five years of work Ian had collected so many jeans that he was able to fill seven closets and his works are a must, exposed in museums and galleries all around the world. Denimu's work have been exhibited in Sweden, Portugal and US and will be in London next year.
His favorite subjects are the Swedish landscapes to which he dedicated the serie "The Sight of Sound" and the portraits, including the tributes to the two biggest denim icons: James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. "Without James Dean and his character in Rebel Without a Cause, true religion flare jeans men would not have been the symbol of rebellion that was in the Sixties and today would not have the same value" tells Ian.
