Original artwork description:

Year 147x78cm oil on canvas _x000D_ _x000D_ “Year” captures the passage of time as a surreal and layered journey, blending abstract forms with evocative imagery. This large-scale oil painting invites the viewer to explore its dreamlike composition, where fleeting moments and fragmented memories collide in a fluid narrative. The interplay of shadow and light, with muted tones giving way to vibrant highlights, suggests a cycle of growth, decay, and renewal._x000D_ _x000D_ The figures and shapes seem to emerge and recede within the canvas, creating a sense of hidden stories and layers of meaning—much like the complexities of a year, where each moment is both part of a larger whole and an individual event. The painting conveys an emotional resonance, evoking reflection on the ephemeral nature of time._x000D_ _x000D_ “Year” is a testament to Ryan Louder’s ability to bridge the boundary between waking reality and the surreal, offering a deeply personal yet universal vision of the passage of time._x000D_ _x000D_ Comes as rolled canvas with extra width and height for framer to attached to back board when framing. 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.
