Lovers
Two people, one gravity
Two people, one gravity.
Lovers holds the pull that needs no explanation, closeness rendered as fact.
Lovers is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from the Unapologetic Faces series.
Acquired and archived into a private collection. One of one, permanently removed from availability.
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.
