About the Artist

Corey Wesley is a Harlem-based contemporary figurative artist whose work explores identity, visibility, and the emotional tension between composure and exposure. Drawn to the silent language of the face, he transforms vulnerability into presence — creating bold portrait compositions that reflect the beauty found within fracture and the power of being fully seen.
