RYAN LEE is pleased to announce we will now represent George Nelson Preston (b. 1938, New York, NY). Preston’s work is rooted in the memory and historical trauma of the Atlantic world and his own family legacy, even as his paintings seek to transport the viewer into the spiritual realm. Although Preston has been painting for decades, his work feels vital and urgent.
RYAN LEE exhibited Preston’s work in the 2022 exhibition Afro-Atlantica: The Aqueous Continent, which was his first solo show in New York City in many years. On September 5, RYAN LEE will present a new solo exhibition of Preston’s work, entitled Ayahuasca Notebook Paintings: Journeys and Returns.
