Silence in Red, Truth in Black - Metal Art of Superior Quality

Unique Artwork · Limited Availability

Red Silence, Black Truth by Corey Wesley delves into themes of selfhood, endurance across generations, and the subtle influence of authenticity. With dimensions of 36 by 24, this metal creation pays tribute to the fortitude of African American women, the elegance of grandmothers, and the ongoing advocacy for LGBTQ+ representation—expressed through striking imagery and profound emotional depth.

The alternating patterns resembling a zebra’s coat convey a sense of balance and complexity, embodying dualities such as light and dark, feminine and masculine, and vulnerability and resilience. A bold crimson brushstroke disrupts the tranquility, symbolizing both suffering and self-respect. Drawing inspiration from Michelle Obama’s musings on societal shifts and individuality, this artwork emerges as a study in contradictions—and bravery.
