Susan Bell on Epstein:
"Gesture gives many of these pictures their pulse. Tender hand, strained shoulder, swivelled hip. It isn't the fact of 13-year olds smoking that shocks, but the grace and knowledge in the young fingers that hold the cigarettes."
"Epstein's world is one of quiet individuality. It is about the pursuit of pleasure before pleasure was commodified, he says. now everything is so packaged. People drink, dance, hold hands and gaze out to sea, independent of the frantically consumerised world growing up around them like a jungle that gradually blocks out the light.
