2:00 AM
The hour that tells the truth
Nobody lies to themselves at 2 AM.
2:00 AM holds the face that comes out when the noise stops and the truth will not.
2:00 AM is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from Unapologetic Faces: The Cost of Being Seen. On the wall it becomes the reason people remember the room.
An emerging name, acquired early. Signed, and archived the day it is placed. Only one exists.

Corey Wesley
Corey Wesley is a Harlem artist. His practice was shaped by the faces he studied on the subway, in recovery rooms, in the space between performance and collapse. He creates what remains when the face stops performing.
The inaugural exhibition at Goddard Riverside Community Arts drew 150 attendees. Corey Wesley curated the show alongside Scott M. Lilly and Ayiana Viviana. Press, collectors, and interior designers responded consistently: breathtaking.
The faces in these works are archetypes, not portraits. They belong to everyone. And no one.
