Easy to look at. Impossible to figure out.

Complex is about a face that refuses to collapse into one clean answer. The longer you look, the less interested it becomes in explaining itself.

Companion work: Complexity lives beside Complex. Complex refuses the clean answer. Complexity puts the layers themselves on display. They approach the same truth from different sides: people are rarely one thing.

This one-of-one work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley is part of Unapologetic Faces. It is signed and documented with a certificate of authenticity.

Ready to hang, French cleat included, floats half an inch off the wall and hangs vertical or horizontal. Signed on the front by Corey Wesley. Signed certificate of authenticity included.
