Lucy Auge contemporary British nature artist capturing fleeting moments in nature through minimal abstract painting

01 — PRACTICE

"Each piece is an attempt to capture a fleeting moment — an unfolding branch, a shift in light, a pause in time."

Lucy Augé is a British-French artist based in Bath, Somerset. Her work is rooted in the observation of seasonal change, guided by a commitment to presence, impermanence, and the natural world.

Inspired by the 72 Japanese micro-seasons, her work is released in real time — responding directly to what she encounters each week. Each medium is chosen instinctively, and her palette remains minimal, allowing form, atmosphere, and gesture to take centre stage.

03 — Studio notes

My practice follows the rhythms of the natural world—seasonal shifts and fleeting moments. Each piece begins long before it’s made, shaped by what I notice and gather over time.

Through my studio notes, I share the landscape that informs my work—walks, materials, fragments of history, and the small details that often go unseen. It’s a slower, more reflective counterpart to what I share on instagram.
