Original PMS Painted Geometrical Wooden Sculpture - 6 x 12 x 5 inches

This is a completely unique and original PMS Painted Wooden Sculpture. It is only the second one of its kind in a sub series of my assemblage works. It is part of a larger 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. This sculpture is as if one of my "Messy Geometrical" paintings or assembled pieces came to life, popped off the surface and began stacking themselves up toward the sky. Themes in my work of construction, deconstruction, vibrant color, form, texture and decay exist in this piece and have been amplified by a complete breaking of the plane, turning into an actual sculpture. This adds a wonderful new element of shadow and versatility to the piece. I have continued my obsession with incorporating found and recycled materials and assembled them into a painted wooden geometrical sculpture. 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. It is truly an original piece that can go in so many areas, or nooks in your home or office.

Note: This original sculpture come signed and ready to be displayed on any surface.

This painted sculpture is signed on the bottom 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.
