The best things were never supposed to happen.

Beautiful Accident holds the face that came out of the mess and turned out to be the whole point.

Beautiful Accident is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from the Unapologetic Faces series. On the wall it changes the whole room, the way only real work does.

Collected early, while the name is still climbing. Signed, and archived the day it is placed. There is no second.

24x36 wall art. Museum-quality matte paper, matted, in a black Ayous wood frame from renewable forests. Acrylite front protector rather than glass, so there is nothing to shatter. Ready to hang, hanging hardware included. No additional framing required. Signed on the front by Corey Wesley. Signed certificate of authenticity included.

About the Artist

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 more than 300 RSVPs. 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.
