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

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.

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.
