Passionate Lovers
Close enough to become one
Desire, shown without apology.
Passionate Lovers holds two faces caught in the pull between them, close enough to become one.
Passionate Lovers is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from the Unapologetic Faces series. Hang it where people gather and the room instantly reads like the home of someone who collects.

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.
