Simon Willems: Cloud MusicMark Moore Gallery is pleased to present new work from British painter Simon Willems. Taking its title from the name given to New Age meditation music, Cloud Music will act to expand on earlier themes within Willems’ work that pertain to the notion of, as he terms it, “contemporary vulnerability”.
