Back Of Woman In Abstraction (2024)Oil painting by Ryan Louder

“Back of Woman in Abstraction,” is an exploration of form and color, where the subject is distilled to essence and emotion. Rendered on a 30x30 inch panel, the oil paints converse with the texture of the surface to unfold the narrative of the human figure through abstraction. It’s a dance of opacity and transparency, where the strokes are guided by the natural contours of the body. The artwork doesn’t just represent a figure; it’s a landscape of human experience, inviting contemplation on the fluidity of our corporeal and emotional selves.

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.
