In this episode, David Remfry tells how a nude portrait helped him land a plush London studio, his attraction to painting dancers, his experiences of living at the Hotel Chelsea in New York City, how he came to paint dogs and their owners, his commission for Stella McCartney’s first fashion brand launch and his task of co-ordinating the Royal Academy’s 2023 Summer Exhibition.
