Original PMS Abstract Acrylic Painting On Wooden Panel/Particle Board - 48" x 21.5"

This is a completely unique PMS abstract acrylic painting for your home or office. This piece has a dynamic and beautiful, modern design aesthetic. The colors streak and overlap, while also being contrasted by subtle and hard shifts. There are grooves and strong texture from the surface of the wooden particle board panel that appear through the painted surface and add another element to the painting. This has also inspired the name of this painting. This piece is energetic, cosmic and mysterious, and will bring intrigue to your space. The contrast of dark black with emerald green, yellow, deep red, white and hints of purple is stunning. It is a perfect statement piece for your home or office.

PLEASE READ: This painting is painted on a reclaimed wooden particle board panel and therefore is heavy and sturdy. The surface is textured and grooved and shows through parts of the painting surface. This is an added element to the painting that makes it unique and a more sustainable surface material. If you like different types of texture, this is your painting. Please see close up pictures for more details of the surface and paint texture. The sides are painted blue and the painting comes hang ready. Be careful to hang this on a wall that can support a weighted painting.

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.
