Experience the tender intimacy of "Hair Day" by renowned artist Leroy Campbell, a powerful mixed-media artwork that captures the sacred ritual of a young girl caring for an elder's hair—a timeless tradition that embodies love, respect, and the passing of cultural wisdom within African American families.
At the heart of this compelling piece lies a beautiful intergenerational moment: a child lovingly tending to her grandmother's hair, representing the strong bonds that connect generations through acts of care and service. This intimate scene speaks to the deep reverence for elders within Black culture and the ways children learn responsibility, gentleness, and family devotion through these everyday moments of connection.
Campbell's masterful collage technique weaves together vintage beauty advertisements and historical imagery that frame this central narrative, creating layers of meaning about Black hair culture, beauty standards, and community traditions. The artwork honors not just the salon and barbershop experiences, but more importantly, the private family moments where love is expressed through touch, where stories are shared across generations, and where cultural identity is nurtured in the safety of home.
This museum-quality piece celebrates the beauty of caregiving, the wisdom of elders, and the innocence of childhood—all wrapped in the rich visual history of African American hair culture. The vintage advertisements serve as historical context, while the central figures remind us that the most meaningful beauty rituals happen in the quiet moments between family members.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate artwork that honors family bonds, celebrates Black culture, and captures the genuine beauty found in everyday acts of love and care.

Leroy Campbell
Through nostalgic scenes and universal themes, he illustrates the art of storytelling using melanges of acrylic, paper, tapestries and organic materials. His work is a fusion of art and history that celebrates family and community culture and is sparked by the essence of that which connects all people. Through these archetypes, Leroy Campbell finds his creative voice and tells his visual stories. Stylized coal black figures with elongated necks and no visible eyes, silhouettes “look[ing] inward to the soul” and full lips that, “...speak for the soul even in their silence.” Amalgamated with newspaper collages as a backdrop, the images speak volumes to observers. Uninhibited and unconfined, and with an impetus to ignite spiritual and emotional sparks in the world, Campbell premiered with expressive yet single dimensional pastel smudges. He then evolves, through his patient discovery of using light and shadow, and with layers of text and texture that implicate the multilayered essences of life. His art is meant to socialize with people and provide a dialogue of inspiration. The words and imagery Leroy Campbell composes conveys a unified message which elucidates the commonalities in all of us.Most in stock items ship in 0 to 5 business depending upon the shipping method selected during checkout.
