About the Author

Simon Morley is a distinguished British artist, writer, and academic whose work explores the intersections of visual culture, language, and contemporary art. With a background in fine arts and critical theory, he has exhibited internationally and contributed insightful essays to leading art publications. Morley's writing delves into how words and images shape modern perception, drawing from his dual role as practitioner and theorist. His book 'Writing on the Wall: Word and Image in Modern Art' exemplifies this approach, offering a nuanced examination of textual elements in visual art from the twentieth century onward. Residing in Seoul, South Korea, where he teaches at Kyung Hee University, Morley continues to influence discourse on art's evolving relationship with language and society.
