<p><strong><em>Wall Street Journal’s Best Photography Books of 2023</em></strong></p> <p>'Encompassing a broad range of mediums, Waplington’s work, as seen in this publication, is diverse and ever-changing, and yet, what unites all of it, is an endless curiosity.' - <em>Creative Review</em></p> <p>'Expansive and timely.' - <em>10 Magazine</em></p> <p>'A poignant reminder of just how radical it [is] to tell it like it is.' - <em>Blind Magazine</em></p> <p>'The word "comprehensive" might suggest a definite account or an objective overview, but in Nick Waplington's world - photographic or otherwise - there are innumerable detours and digressions. Looking at his work made over the past four decades it's clear that this book isn't a formal retrospective, rather it is an open ended conversation across time, a visual record of the unexpected pleasures of life and a desire to capture them.' - Matthew Higgs, Director, White Columns, New York</p> <p>'Nick Waplington's images assail us with an observed reality, yet at the same time offer something that is only obscurely and subversively familiar to us. This is because it creates eruptions from beneath the threshold of our consciousness. It's that disconcerting recognition of the other that makes for great art. He is one of the best around.' - Irvine Welsh, writer</p> <p>'With an uncanny brew of empathy and abandon, Waplington makes photography an adventure, diving into the mayhem and messiness of life to embrace its unruly magic. His is a rare kind of cultural portraiture, a personal register of personalities, subtly limning the politics and poetics of the circumstantial. - Carlo McCormick, critic and curator</p> <p>'Margaret Thatcher, in whose sinister shadow so many artists of Nick Waplington's generation came of age, once famously claimed, 'There is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women and there are families.' A ridiculous, deeply reactionary claim of course - but at least Waplington was there to photograph these men, women, and families. This is an indispensable document - the responsive eye at its most observant.' - Dieter Roelstraete, curator</p>
