ABOUT

 
Lucy Auge Art, Lucy Auge Artist, Lucy Auge Studio
 

Lucy’s works are heirlooms. The relationships she builds with her buyers and admirers last. Her renown has grown over the years so much that when her work was featured in the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition it sold out before the event during the private view.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better
— - Albert Einstein
 

Lucy Augé (pronounced O-Jay) is an artist specialising in natural forms. Based in Bath, she launched her career as an illustrator, but during a period of convalescence, began to paint from nature. From there, she grew from painting the domestic flowers of her garden outwards to the surrounding landscape, filled with ancient trees.

 

Lucy sells her paintings worldwide to a loyal customer base. She does not have a gallery, preferring to maintain a personal connection with her clients from first contact to final display. Her collectors follow and are included in her artistic journey.

PROCESS

 

Painting the transience of nature has led me to curate a library of moments. Each piece is signed and dated with the time, the only root that grounds it to its conception.

On-bike rides through the somerset countryside, I pause now and again when something catches my eye. The shape of the brambles or a cluster of birch leaves blowing in the wind. It is in this flow state where I fully immerse myself, free from life’s everyday noise.

I paint from life, then distort the original image by cutting it into segments and rearranging the panels into an abstract piece. Here it becomes an ethereal, intangible capturing of nature’s respiration.

ETHOS

 

Lucy’s ethos is based on sustainability, equality and longevity.

Crafted outside of current trends and the sways of public opinion, Lucy’s art has a sense of tranquillity that allows the observer to fully engage emotionally with the painting.

With the firm belief that art is for all, Lucy maintains equality with her patrons, having only one mailing list for all and releasing catalogues to everyone at the same time.

Using archival materials and framed to archival standards, she ensures her work is an heirloom for generations to come.

 

Here follows a list of her curated range of materials:

A note on the paper: These international papers are sourced from small independent businesses based in the UK.

Italian Paper - For Panel Pieces

This particular company has been manufacturing paper since 1264. These masters of paper produce their products with low environmental impact by using raw materials.

Japanese Paper - For Board Works

I use Okawara composed of Kozo, Sulphite and recycled washi yielding. Machine-made in a small family-run factory in Kochi, Japan.

Hahnemuhle Paper - For Etching Works

Hahnemuhle are highly distinguished practitioners of papercraft, creating lightfast and acid-free papers that resist deterioration for centuries.

Sumi Ink - For All Paintings

Sumi Inks are made from soot, bone glue and water. 12th century BC is documented when Sumi Ink started being used. I use a high-quality Sumi Ink as not all Sumi inks are made equal, mine is from a Japanese company.

Wood – For Board Works

Sourced from UK based, FSC approved woodland. Offcuts are made into small works.
