Presence Undiminished
Everything carried, nothing lost
Time takes plenty. It never took this.
Presence Undiminished holds a face that has carried everything and lost none of its weight.
Presence Undiminished is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from the Unapologetic Faces series. On the wall it becomes the reason people remember the room.
Collected early, while the name is still climbing. Signed, and archived on placement. Only one exists.

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.
