Known for his large-scale watercolours of dancers and his drawings of neighbours and friends from his 20 years living in New York, Royal Academician David Remfry is adept at recording both people and place. This exhibition features 30 of his evocative paintings.
He has long been fascinated by textiles, modelling colour and pattern in his paintings through furnishings, and the drapery and folds of fabric on the body. Responding to this sensibility for texture and materials, Dovecot has commissioned a new tapestry, Chandelirium, which will be unveiled as part of the exhibition.
David Remfry: In Residence takes place at Dovecot Studios from 21 February to 12 June 2026. Admission is free.
