Two-Faced
The self we present, the self we protect
Everyone has a second face. Few will show it.
Two-Faced holds the self we present and the self we protect, side by side and unashamed.
Two-Faced is a one of one work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, on archival museum-quality aluminum, from Unapologetic Faces: The Cost of Being Seen. On the wall it takes the room and holds it.
An emerging artist, collected now for a reason. Signed, and archived on placement. Only one exists.

Ready to hang, French cleat included, floats half an inch off the wall and hangs vertical or horizontal. Signed on the front by Corey Wesley. Signed certificate of authenticity included.

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 more than 300 RSVPs. 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.
