United Lovers
Two faces, one outline
Love that stopped needing to explain itself.
United Lovers holds two faces that have become one outline, close past the point of return.
United Lovers is a one of one work by Harlem artist Corey Wesley, on archival museum-quality aluminum, from the Unapologetic Faces series. On the wall it commands the room, and the space starts to read like it belongs to someone with serious taste.
Acquired early, while the window is open. Signed, and archived the day it is placed. Only one exists.

Each one of one. Once acquired, it does not return.
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.
