Preston Anderson’s work dissects life’s critical moments that flirt with an immersive world realistic enough to believe in, but cosmic enough to dream in. Each painting aims to build upon the narrative of human life towards the actuality of existence and draw conclusions as to what it means to be alive. His work realistically illustrates figures taking ownership of their lives and challenging assumptions about their identity as they discover their place within the world. His art builds from unpredictable and thick applications of paint converging an atmospheric blend of surreal abstraction and realistic figures. The figures are often placed into eerie environments and unified with it by wispy and textures movement.
