Lucy Augé is a British-French artist based in Bath, Somerset. Her work is rooted in close observation of the natural world, particularly the subtle shifts that occur throughout the seasons. Each piece seeks to capture a fleeting moment, preserving something of what she encounters in the landscape.
Inspired by the 72 Japanese micro-seasons (shichijūni kō), Augé’s practice responds directly to the landscape around her, with new work developing in real time throughout the year. Each medium is chosen instinctively in response to its subject, while a restrained palette allows form, atmosphere and gesture to take centre stage.
