Some lines, once crossed, do not uncross.

Irreversible Split holds the moment after the point of no return, when the face has already changed for good.

Irreversible Split 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 the space starts to read like a collector's, not a customer's.

Acquired now, while the window is open. Signed, and archived on placement. Once it is gone, it is gone.

36x24 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.

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.
