"Brute Force" - Original PMS Mixed Media Sculptural Painting On Canvas and Wood, Framed - 38 x 37 inches (2018) Original Mixed-media Painting by Preston M. Smith (PMS)

This is a completely unique and original PMS Mixed Media painting on canvas. This is the fifth piece in my new series! This painting 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 and rugged and fun to look at from multiple angles and with the changing of light that reflects on the piece. The colors are vibrant. Unlike the other paintings in this series, this piece is a mixture of my sculptural wood assemblage and my vibrant, highly textured oil paintings as a surface. This concept has been flipped from the others in the series. I have constructed this frame myself out of found wooden materials and the juxtaposition of black sculptured wood and bold, textured and layered oil paint is stunning. It is truly an original artwork like no other.

Note: This painting is painted on canvas and assembled, reclaimed wood and comes uniquely framed and hang ready.

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