Shiny and Vanished
Beautiful and already going
Everything that glitters is already on its way out.
Shiny and Vanished holds the face at the moment the shine starts to leave it, beautiful and going.
Shiny and Vanished is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from the Unapologetic Faces series. On the wall it changes the whole room, the way only real work does.
Collected early, while the name is still climbing. 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.
