PAINTALLICA

PAINTALLICA is a collaborative of artists who come together across state lines and genres to make art together. Often an artist’s work is called their “practice”—which sometimes implies that the process of making art is one of experimentation and repetition until the artist gets something “right.” Even more mysterious is an artist’s solitary studio time. Members of Paintallica intentionally reveal those often private, instinctual, raw and evolving moments of creation. The resulting installation is equal parts process, product and performance. For TBA:08, PAINTALLICA will take over a storefront to make objects, drawings, paintings and installations over the course of several days. The public is invited to observe this process during open hours.

PAINTALLICA’ s members have exhibited extensively nationally and internationally; individually they have been written about in Sculpture Magazine, The New York Times and Artforum. Some are painters, some are sculptors, one is a published graphic novelist, two are veterans, one made headlines by offending a presidential candidate. Paintallica includes but is not limited to Dan Attoe, Gordon Barnes, Craig Thompson, Shelby Davis, Josh Podoll, Jesse Albrecht, Jamie Boling, Cece Cole, Jeremy Tinder, Tim Bowman, JS Decker, Brandon Buckner, Richard Nelipovich, Josh Wilichowski, Bill Donavan, Greta Songe and Chris Miller.
