It s Wednesday night at the Hong Kong Art Tutoring studio in North Point and David Chappell is in a familiar position: standing naked and statue-still in front of a group of strangers.
Chappell is a life model and at 82 is believed to be Hong Kong s oldest. For most people, the thought of disrobing in front of strangers is out of their comfort zone. Not for Chappell. He s at ease with being seen naked and first started posing for artists when in his fifties while living in his home county of Lincolnshire in England s East Midlands.
