Brian Chugg was a painter and writer born in Braunton, Devon. He studied at Bideford School of Art, 1946-49 and at Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts, 1949-50.

In 1953 he was given a retrospective exhibition at Barnstaple Museum and Art Gallery, Woodstock Gallery and Piccadilly Gallery, and he also exhibited at the RBA, Leicester Galleries and the Piccadilly Gallery. After architectural experience, 1944–46, Chugg lectured in art at North Devon College, 1953–79. A posthumous exhibition of his work was held at Museum of North Devon, The Square, Barnstaple in 2004.
