Textile Fine Art

Conversations with Artists Creating by Hand. By Helen Adams.

With a foreword by Ann Coxon, former curator of International Art at Tate Modern the book is beautifully designed - giving the artists several pages of pages with their work and text conversation, in a Q&A format with the author, Helen Adams.

Ian Berry is one of the featured 50 artists in the book alongside the likes of Tracey Emin, Chiharu Shiota and Do Ho Suh and Art Materialism artist, Benjamin Shine.

It is published by Laurence king and here’s a word from them:

‘As artists from across the globe have pushed the boundaries of what is considered fine art, textiles have emerged as one the most vibrant and captivating areas of contemporary art. Tapestry, embroidery, quilting and a wide array of fibre arts are taking centre stage in galleries and exhibitions worldwide.

From the immersive installations of Chiharu Shiota to the photorealist denim collages of Ian Berry, via the magical realist hand-embroidery of Chiachio and Giannone and painterly stitching of Alice Kettle, this lavish volume brings together over 50 living artists all creating stunning work by hand.’
