Lena Waithe, Alicia Keys and Rich Paul are among the collectors of paintings by Corey Pemberton, whose show at L.A.'s UNREPD gallery is closing this weekend.

I had made a living for years with my glasswork, decorative objects for the home. I thought maybe I could do the same thing with my paintings. I didn’t sell anything; maybe I sold one piece all weekend. It felt like a failure in that sense. But I met Sarah. It turned out to be the best thing that’s ever happened for my career.
