Matthew Grote and Chuck Tingley are Weego, a collaborative force of two accomplished painters who have been transforming walls together since they first joined forces in Buffalo 15 years ago.

Their partnership blends distinct processes into a collective style. Grote's bold visual vocabulary merges with Tingley's expressive figurative work to create something neither would produce alone. Built on the graphic energy of 90s illustration design, their collaboration is an active dialogue where composition, color, and concept develop through shared vision rather than divided labor.

Recent work includes a mural at Shoshone Park for the Thomas M. Smith Athletic Center and their landmark 2018 collaboration at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum that established the Weego identity. Together, they create public art that doesn't just decorate spaces. It activates them, sparking connection between the work, the place, and the people who experience it.
