Paintallica is a collaborative group of artist friends who have a mutual interest in building things and getting rowdy. Our installations emerge from a few days and nights of intense work, field research, discussion and play. Work usually involves chainsaws, wood in many forms, drawing, beer, paint, fire and a wide range of motor vehicles, occasionally guns and neon. Our imagery and tools are remnants of the working-class, rural American roots of most of the members.
