For our first episode, we couldn’t think of a more fitting guest than the remarkable Sue Tilley, who describes herself with one powerful word: Dilettante. Sue is far more than just a title; she was the best friend of the iconic performance artist Leigh Bowery and has been immortalised in several of Lucian Freud's paintings—most notably, Benefits Supervisor Sleeping, which became the most expensive painting ever sold by a living artist in 2015. She has blossomed into an artist in her own right, designed prints for Fendi Menswear, and wrote a biography about her dear friend Leigh Bowery. Join us as we sit down for an informal yet deeply insightful conversation with Sue Tilley. We explore her life, art, and the extraordinary experiences shaping her unique journey.
