She holds a degree in Philosophy from King\u2019s College London and a Fine Arts degree from the City and Guilds of London Art School. She was awarded the Freelands Foundation Painting Prize in 2021. Her work has been featured in solo exhibitions in Madrid (Galer\u00eda Belmonte), Paris (Galerie DS), and Mexico City (Karen Huber).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The artist explores a &#8220;living painting&#8221; where the material and pigments invite her to relinquish control and allow the essence of the work to emerge. Her approach, rooted in the body and somatic memory, can lead her to radically transform her techniques, shifting from painting to sculpture, engraving, or oxidation. With her experimental approach, she questions the essence of the image, seeking to reduce it to its most fundamental elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-white-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-white-background-color has-background\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>With the support of :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"54\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MBAL_Impressum_printemps2025-1024x54.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MBAL_Impressum_printemps2025-1024x54.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MBAL_Impressum_printemps2025-300x16.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MBAL_Impressum_printemps2025-768x41.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MBAL_Impressum_printemps2025-1535x82.png 1535w, https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/mbalwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/MBAL_Impressum_printemps2025-2048x109.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":7372,"template":"","class_list":["post-7549","exposition","type-exposition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Augusta Lardy Micheli - MBAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mbal.ch\/en\/expo\/augusta-lardy-micheli\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Augusta Lardy Micheli - MBAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Metaxu, Les rives o\u00f9 vivent mes songes Augusta Lardy Micheli invites us to contemplate a universe that is both interior and exterior, through the notion of Metaxu (from Greek, that which is \u2018in between\u2019).
