David Remfry – författare

Born in 1942 in Worthing, David Remfry RA studied at Hull College of Art. His first solo show in London in 1973 has been followed by more than 50 international solo exhibitions. He is well known both for his large-scale watercolours of dancers, and for his drawings and watercolours of his neighbours and friends at the Hotel Chelsea in New York, where he lived from 1995 to 2016.Remfry’s skill in capturing dancers in movement in spontaneous watercolour is shown to particularly good effect in these pocket-sized sketches of tango aficionados. Characteristically, he shows us neither their heads nor their feet, instead concentrating entirely on their midriffs in this charming celebration of the most seductive and passionate of dances.
