Painting: Oil on Paper._x000D_ _x000D_ Missing Dorothy - Ryan Louder - Oil On Paper - 2017_x000D_ This is not just a celebration of a timeless film but represents lost youth. "I conceived of the idea after seeing Wizard of Oz on television that the Scarecrows only regret about having a brain would be to miss Dorothy after she returns to Cansas". This memory of her proves hard for the scarecrow to live with as before he had no memories and life seemed simpler. "As you get older memories and life experiences pile up and life seems heavier. I look back on the simplicity of being young and I miss it. This painting represents that" I’m a London-based artist, and my work often reflects vivid and surreal imagery inspired by my unique experience with REM intrusion—a condition where dream-like visions can appear while I’m awake. My paintings explore the boundary between waking reality and the dream world, using layered compositions to create a sense of depth and movement. I paint with high-quality materials and put a lot of thought into texture and detail. My process is a mix of intuitive brushwork and deliberate layering, aiming to create pieces that are rich in emotion and invite you to see something new each time you look at them. This piece will be carefully packaged using protective materials and dispatched via a tracked courier. If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
