The two halves stopped holding each other up.

Duality Broken catches the moment balance gives out and both sides are left standing on their own. What used to work together no longer does.

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.

24x36 wall art. Archival museum-quality aluminum on an MDF back. Scratch and fade resistant, with nothing over the surface. No glass, no acrylic. 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.

This work arrives on a floating wall mount with a concealed backing. It hangs securely and floats half an inch off the wall, so the surface reads clean and the edges catch light. No additional framing required.

About the Artist

Corey Wesley

Harlem shaped his practice: the faces on the subway, in recovery rooms, and in the space between performance and collapse. He creates what remains when the face stops performing.

His proprietary mixed-media process combines writing, Photoshop, Illustrator, and modern technology, including AI-assisted tools. Over days or months, he refines symbolism, color, composition, facial structure, and emotional tone until each work carries his recognizable visual language.

The faces in these works are archetypes. They belong to everyone. And no one.
