Tuning Fork

“Tuning Fork” is about resonance in the midst of noise.
Just as a musician strikes a tuning fork to bring their instrument back to harmony, this work speaks to the moments when we, too, must pause and realign.

In a world of endless distractions, it is easy to lose our pitch - to let outside voices drown out our own. Yet the painting reminds us that our true tone is never lost, only waiting to be remembered.

A call back to your own frequency - a reminder to stay in tune with your true self amidst the world’s noise.

Amidst the noise, the painting whispers:

"Stay in tune with yourself."

Auguste Lu invites you to explore her latest Japan-based collection, where each piece explores the dualities of human existence and offers art as a tool for self-improvement.

Inspired by her nomadic journey of self-discovery, each piece reflects the tension and harmony that shape personal growth.
By engaging with these works, you contribute to the celebration of human complexity, enriching the dialogue between art and life .

Acrylics, charcoal, chalk, pigments on canvas

Auguste incorporates generous amounts of water, blending inks and acrylics to guide the natural flow of the composition. As the water slowly evaporates, she anchors the work with layers of chalk and charcoal, grounding the painting in a balance of movement and permanence.

Working predominantly on the ground, her large-scale pieces are shaped by sweeping bodily gestures, transforming the act of painting into a physical performance — where creation itself becomes an event.
