Kwame Delfish knows the history of fades. He points out, "In the early '90s, designs were a huge thing and everybody wanted the best barber, the hottest design. It was just like -you need to walk out with that cut." Now, Delfish is an artist who not only paints but designs hair at the salon he co-owns, Hill Studio in Toronto.
Hair design and painting have a strong relationship in Delfish's multidimensional art practice. And his creativity is generational - both of his parents expressed themselves in visual ways, his father as an architect and his mother as a seamstress, and encouraged his development as an artist. Delfish has kept that passion throughout his life and, from studying animation and classical art to becoming a skilled barber, he's never allowed his artistic impulses to be confined by any one medium.
