Passionate Lovers
Close enough to become one
Desire, shown without apology.
Passionate Lovers catches two faces inside the pull between them, close enough that the separation starts to disappear.
Related works: Passionate Lovers, The Breakup, and Break Up to Make Up move through three different states of intimacy: the pull, the rupture, and the return.

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.
