Art Talk Series: Charlie Rugg

Wednesday, November 19, 2025 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. Location: SLO City/County Library Community Room, 995 Palm Street, San Luis Obispo, CA, 93401 United States. Charlie Rugg, a conceptual artist based in San Luis Obispo, California, specializes in abstract and figurative oil painting. His work explores the collective nature of human experience, emphasizing the interplay between shifting perspectives and the creation of new meaning. In his 2023, "And also" exhibition at SLOMA, Rugg celebrates our instinct to construct existence through narrative, highlighting the ambiguity that emerges when stories intersect, both in figurative and abstract contexts. Originally from Boston, Rugg's first career in professional soccer took him to California, where he played for the LA Galaxy followed by two clubs in Germany. Maintaining parallel passion for art, throughout his soccer career, Rugg transitioned to a focus on oil painting upon retiring from soccer.
