Paul Waplington is a working class artist from Nottingham. He became a familiar and active figure in the British art scene in the 1970s and 80s, rising to critical notoriety after a significant exhibition at the Midland Group in 1978.
His first job was as an apprentice draftsman, designing lace, at which he became very skilled. After redundancy and travel he became politically active, although he never joined any political group. He focused on movements, including the status of ordinary people, including the Labour and trade union movements. After doing further freelance work in the lace industry and teaching art classes he began to paint professionally. His work had a political dimension, reflecting affection and respect, but not sentimentality. He produced a solid and evocative body of work that both celebrated Nottingham and its human communities and portrayed the industrial decline that helped to undermine them. In 2013/14 there was a fine and long-overdue solo retrospective of Waplington’s art at Nottingham Castle. At the centre of the exhibition was the large banner Waplington painted in 1986 for Hucknall NUM, commemorating the 1984-5 miner’s strike.
In more recent years Paul Waplington has lived and worked in rural Portugal, where his work has celebrated the lives of agricultural workers. Today the body of work that Waplington left in the UK is a colorful, vivid and exciting depiction of an era that has gone. His work now belongs to many public collections, including Glasgow Museums, Sheffield City Gallery, Sheffield University, Manchester City Galleries, Leicestershire County Council, the Arts Council Collection and Nottingham University NHS Trust.

This original mixed media work was painted by the artist in 1968. He has directly described to us how he had just finished a day’s work in the factory and was walking home on Harcourt Street, Forest Fields, Nottingham. His wife ran towards him, with their young son Martin limp in her arms. The young lad had been playing with other children in the street and had been struck with a stick. Martin been knocked unconscious and his mother had been fetched. She now ran with the child to fetch help, frantic with panic. The artist was so struck with the emotion of the moment that he later felt compelled to capture the scene.
In the background are the red brick terraced houses of the cityscape, with their sash windows and squat chimneys.
