About The Artwork
This is a completely unique and original PMS Sculptural painting, and Multi-panel work on reclaimed wood. These paintings and series 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 this piece 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 canvas 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, highly design-oriented series that plays with negative space and fitting into that negative space. It is intriguing to look at from multiple angles and with the changing of light that reflects on the artwork. I have constructed this middle frame myself out of reclaimed wooden framing materials and the juxtaposition of elegant white sculptured wood and bold, textured and layered oil paint is stunning. It also functions to partially frame the four surrounding paintings. These five pieces together truly make for a unique artwork like no other. Note: The center painting is painted on assembled, reclaimed wood and comes uniquely, irregularly framed and hang ready. The accompanying four pieces are painted on a 24" x 12" wooden panel and will also come hang ready. This painting is signed on the back and includes my Certificate of Authenticity. © 2019 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, and beauty", 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. Very recently, his work was selected by a panel of curators as a winner in the 1st 2018 ArtSlant Artprize Showcase. His work has also 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 was also recently the subject of a documentary short directed by Tony Lugo entitled "Negativity To Creativity" and his work is in private collections around the world as well in the homes of celebrities such as Ed Harris, Ashley Judd, Josh Lucas, and so forth.
