Blended Love
Closeness past the point of separation
Two people, blended until you cannot tell where one ends.
Blended Love holds closeness past the point of separation, rendered so it holds the light.
Blended Love is a one of one work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, on archival museum-quality aluminum, from the Unapologetic Faces series. On the wall it commands the room and makes the space feel quietly expensive.
Acquired early, before the name catches up to the work. Signed, and archived on placement. 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 in attendance. 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.
