In this episode, Romany talks about his upbringing during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, how he gave up practising as a lawyer to become an artist, how the death of a friend inspired his AIDS Memorial sculpture in Brighton, why he started painting, the influence of Francis Bacon, designing theatre sets and about his new monograph Sculpting Colour.
