Reflections
The face meeting its own gaze
You do not really see yourself until something reflects it back.
Reflections holds the face meeting its own gaze, honest and unhurried.
Reflections 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.
An emerging name, acquired early. Signed, and archived on placement. There is no 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 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.
