Last Night On Earth

Original PMS Oil Painting On Reclaimed Wood - 27.25 x 11.25 inches

This is a completely unique and original abstract oil painting on reclaimed wood. It is the 5th painting in a series that tackles the beauty of the planet in which we live, and all of the problems that are facing it and our survival. However, they are depicted in such an abstract way with cool, beautiful colors, that the mood of these pieces are peaceful and serene. It is a wonderful juxtaposition of theme and emotional effect. This particular painting combines two of my popular painting techniques and bridges the gap between two of my newer series of works. It is both vibrantly colorful and heavily textured and leads the eye ferociously all over the piece. It is full of life and hopefully provokes deeper thought.

Note: This painting is painted on reclaimed and recycled wood. It is recycled, reclaimed, and eco-friendly. The piece is painted black on the sides and framing is not necessary.

This painting is signed on the front and includes my Certificate of Authenticity.

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 550 private collections in 27 countries, as well as in the collections of celebrities such as Ed Harris, Ashley Judd, Josh Lucas, Patricia Arquette and more.
