Behind the Faces

CONTEMPORARY ART BY HARLEM ARTIST COREY WESLEY.

What is the cost of being seen?

Being seen asks us to be vulnerable. Yet racial, cultural, and sexual barriers can make it difficult to let someone see who we are. We spend so much time judging our differences that we miss what we share.

The faces in Unapologetic Faces are archetypes, not portraits. They come from my writing, my experiences, and the feelings those connections left with me. This is my love letter to the human experience. I want us to take the time to see one another.

From a Viewer

“The expressions and visual treatment make the figures feel emotionally exposed, almost as if they are confronting the viewer rather than simply being observed.”

Claudette Branch
