“Tuning Fork” draws its name from the instrument used by musicians, which resonates when struck — a simple form that awakens vibration, aligning everything around it to a single, precise frequency.

That is the essence of this work:
resonance.
The invisible moment when something touches you, and your entire inner world begins to hum in response.

The composition unfolds through layered washes of warm sand, softened ivory, and deep ink black. Pigment moves like suspended breath across the surface; pooling, dispersing, and settling into grounded charcoal gestures. The contrast between light and shadow feels organic, almost geological, as if something ancient is slowly revealing itself.

At its core, “Tuning Fork” speaks about alignment.
About the subtle recalibration that happens when you encounter something — a place, a person, a memory — that brings you back into yourself.

When placed on a wall, Tuning Fork fine-tunes the room and is meant for those who value presence. For those who understand that the most powerful shifts are often the quietest ones — the ones that simply bring you back into harmony.

Production Method

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.

About Auguste

Auguste Lu (@augusteluart) is a Lithuanian contemporary artist based in Japan, known for her fluid, emotionally layered paintings that explore the dualities of human existence. With a background in classical music and visual effects, her work blends technical precision with expressive spontaneity, translating life’s contrasts into elegant, thought-provoking forms.

Influenced by her Baltic heritage and Scandinavian sensibility, Auguste works with unconventional materials such as acrylic ink, coal, and chalk. Her minimalist palettes paired with intricate shapes are a direct representation of the inner contrasts she encourages the viewer to embrace. Each piece reflects her nomadic journey of self-discovery and invites viewers into a visual dialogue between light and shadow, presence and possibility.
