Edna Contemporary Gallery presents Hosts, a collection of new works by painter Charlie Rugg and mixed media artist Sommer Roman.
“We are thrilled to share two new bodies of work with you of paintings and mixed media sculpture,” Rugg and Roman announced. “This exhibition was birthed from a history of ongoing studio visits over the last three years and a friendship of mutual respect and curiosity of one another’s work. While each artists’ work exists within its own universe, there are areas where they overlap in shared conceptual and visual sensibilities.”
Edna Contemporary, located at 967 Osos St., in San Luis Obispo, will host an opening reception on Friday, Oct. 3, from 5 to 8 p.m.
Rugg, a talented realist painter, is a former professional soccer player who played with GPS Portland Phoenix, Worcester Hydra, LA Galaxy, and other teams during his career (2011 to 2017).
Roman’s remarkably colorful sculpture and wall art is made of fabrics and other materials. In an email, she noted that this new show includes “my largest wall sculpture to date! I hope you can you join us for the opening night. All are welcome.”
The exhibition will remain on display until Sunday, Nov. 2. For more information, email info@ednacontemporary.com. Δ
