Hepworth Collection: A Tribute to Modernist Sculpture by Desmond Murray

The Hepworth Collection by Desmond Murray pays homage to Barbara Hepworth. He uses the sculptural properties of Afro hair to evoke the modernist artist’s influential work.

Hepworth Collection

Desmond Murray‘s Hepworth Collection takes inspiration from modernist sculptor Barbara Hepworth. It brilliantly combines hair pieces with natural hair to form striking shapes. Through expert lighting and make-up that evokes sculpted, smoothed dark granite, Des has managed to capture the essence of Hepworth’s incredible work, beautifully translating her vision into a contemporary hairdressing statement.
