Liberated Tears
Grief at the point it becomes freedom
The moment the tears stop being weakness and start being release.
Liberated Tears holds grief at the point it turns into freedom. Not broken. Unburdened.
Liberated Tears is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from the Unapologetic Faces series. Put it where people gather and the space instantly reads 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.

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.
