We Can Beat Them by Preston M. Smith (PMS)
The Artists Description
This piece has a mature, modern design aesthetic and is fierce and full of energy and angst. It was painted in a dark time in our history, heavy with extreme pain, chaos, and political polarization.
Yet, it has a rebellious quality that suggests we can rise above the negative forces that try to hold us down. The colors streak and overlap while also being contrasted by subtle and bold color shifts.The accents of black, bright yellow, white, and fluorescent red/pink are modern and striking.
Fragments of surface color and movement peak through the top layers of paint as bold colors streak and breeze across the surface in stripes and waves, creating a unique painterly design piece. It is truly a modern abstract print that will enhance your space like no other.

Preston M. Smith (PMS)
Artist Preston M. Smith (PMS) found himself cross-eyed 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.
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," 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.
It 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." It is in more than 450 private collections in 23 countries, as well as in the collections of celebrities such as Ed Harris, Ashley Judd, Josh Lucas, Patricia Arquette, and more.
