The places that split and stayed
Inquiries for this piece are handled by Carol Ward, Collector Relations, Outside the Lines Gallery, representing Milton Wes Art.
Love shows its cracks whether you let it or not.
Love Cracks holds the beauty in the break, the places that split and stayed anyway.
Love Cracks is a one of one work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, on archival museum-quality aluminum, from the Unapologetic Faces series.
This one is acquired. It lives in a private collection now, and there was never a second.

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 attendees. 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.
