Charlie Edmiston is a Los Angeles-based abstract artist known for his bold, large-scale works and distinctive use of color and geometric shapes. His artistic journey began with a foundation in graffiti and street art, a background that has influenced his risk-taking and vibrant contemporary style.

A graduate of the Otis College of Art and Design, Edmiston comes from a family of artists, with a calligrapher father and a cartoonist grandmother. This artistic lineage is evident in the dynamic and diverse nature of his work, which seamlessly transitions between large and small scales, and from free-form expression to structured geometric abstraction. His pieces consistently exude a sense of verve and vivacity, challenging viewers with compelling color compositions.

Edmiston's work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including shows at Scope Miami, the Urban Art Fair in France, and Avenue des Arts Gallery in California. He gained significant recognition when he was commissioned to create an official, Lucasfilm-licensed portrait of Luke Skywalker for a Star Wars coin, which is now archived in the Lucasfilm archives.

In 2024, at Milan Design Week, Edmiston presented four new works that demonstrated a dialogue between classic mid-century Danish design and California contemporary art. These pieces were specifically inspired by the timeless designs of the late Danish designer Finn Juhl, focusing on color theory, shape, and craftsmanship, mirroring Juhl's unique sculptor-like approach to furniture. This collaboration highlights his versatility and ability to draw inspiration from diverse sources, translating them into his unique abstract visual language.
