ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is a unique and completely original diptych that was painted and assembled using the highest quality materials, circular wooden panels and reclaimed wooden pieces. It will make a statement in your space. These PMS Mixed Media Sculptural Assemblage paintings are part of a series that epitomizes a technique and aesthetic I have been working to perfect over the years and takes them to a new level, both literally and figuratively. Themes in my work of construction, deconstruction, vibrant color, form, texture and decay exist in these pieces and have been amplified by a new layer of broken down, assembled pieces of wood, that have been painted and constructed into the piece. This adds a wonderful new element of shadow and an idea of breaking the plane of a conventional surface and frame. I have continued my obsession with incorporating found and recycled materials and assembled them into what I like to think of as a sculptural painting. It is beautiful and rugged and fun to look at from multiple angles and with the changing of light that reflects on the piece. This is a wonderful and vibrant mixture of geometrical shapes, angles and three dimensional forms. They are truly original artworks like no other and are a nice juxtaposition of pure painterly assembly and actual assemblage. Note: These paintings are painted on circular wooden panels and assembled, fractured reclaimed wood. They come hang ready. These paintings can be hung on the wall in any arrangement that the collector prefers. Pictured arrangement of the paintings is merely the suggestion of the artist and individual paintings (from left to right) measure: 30" x 26" x 2" and 31" x 24" x 1.5". These paintings are signed on the front and include my Certificate of Authenticity. © 2020 PMS Artwork. All rights reserved.

"My art and life has been a process of moving from darkness into light." - PMS Artist Preston M. Smith (PMS) found himself cross-eyed and with no depth perception as a child. This was the "lens" through which he developed his unique visual perspective of the world, which he now shares as a painter. Before focusing completely on his visual artwork, Preston spent many years developing and expanding his creative mindset by acting professionally, touring and lead singing for a punk/ska band, and writing two novels as well as a collection of poetry and original paintings. All of this experience fed into his ability to access his creative voice and communicate his own experience. Over the years, Preston’s artwork has transitioned from moody pop surrealist paintings into vibrantly colorful, tactile, highly textured and almost "edible" abstract works. His mantra for his abstract work is "color, texture, beauty and decay", and his work and life have been an expression of moving from darkness into light. Preston’s work has been showcased alongside David Lynch and at the Inaugural Purple Ball for President Obama’s Inauguration in 2009, where he was commissioned to paint 12 portraits of the President. Recently, Preston is coming off of a successful Solo Exhibition at ShockBoxx Gallery in Hermosa Beach California and his first two showings at the LA Art Show in Downtown L.A.. His work has also been selected by a panel of curators as a winner in the 1st 2018 ArtSlant Artprize Showcase and has been on display at the world famous La Luz De Jesus Gallery, and in numerous exhibitions throughout Los Angeles and across the country. Preston's work has also been the subject of a documentary short entitled "Negativity To Creativity" and is in more than 500 private collections in 26 countries, as well as in the collections of celebrities such as Ed Harris, Ashley Judd, Josh Lucas, Patricia Arquette and more.
