Lou Davis is an Edinburgh based printmaker and artist. She is drawn to pattern, repetition and complexity. Her work is often abstract, utilising a combination of geometric, linear and organic forms. Each work begins with drawing; creating rubrics to follow which turn simple ink lines into complex structures. These drawings are then developed into screen prints. Lou’s work is created in response to events and ideas, being constructed as visual models that explore topics of justice, economics and wellbeing. Her current work looks at economic trends and policies in the light of historic understandings of debt, wealth and economic inequality.
Lou is an artist and printmaker, focusing on screen print. Lou studied printmaking at Leith School of Art, is a member at Edinburgh Printmakers and is undertaking a PhD in theology through printmaking as a creative practice at the University of Glasgow.
