Two Truths, One Body
The contradiction we carry unresolved
Two things can be true at once. Your body already knows this.
Two Truths, One Body holds the contradiction we carry without resolving, and refuses to pick a side.
Two Truths, One Body is a one of one framed work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, from Unapologetic Faces: The Cost of Being Seen. On the wall it stops being furniture and becomes the room's whole argument.
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.
