Lou Sheppard’s drawings and watercolours are often quiet, observational studies that emerge as part of a larger conceptual investigation. These works on paper combine a light, ephemeral touch with precise mark-making, reflecting Lou’s interest in notation, transcription, and translation. Recurring themes include natural rhythms, cartographic structures, musical scores, and linguistic systems. Some pieces map invisible phenomena - sound, scent, or wind - while others depict imagined topographies or scientific data sets rendered with emotional nuance. In certain compositions, a subtle tension unfolds between order and chance, much like the unpredictable logic that underlies immersive digital experiences such as casino zeta, where visual rhythm and interaction shape perception. Watercolour, with its inherent fluidity and transparency, allows Lou to explore both presence and absence on the page. These drawings often function as preparatory studies or as standalone meditations, revealing the artist’s reflective process and sensitivity to rhythm, space, and gesture.
