Love Greed And Charity (2022) Original Mixed-media Painting by Ryan Louder

Civilisation 30x40 oil on Canvas
The canvas comes rolled ready to be attached to frame


I am a professional artist based in London, UK.

My oil paintings are filled with emotion and have an underlying autobiographical theme to them.

I have a neurological sleep disorder, called narcolepsy, and because of this, I can frequently experience hypnogogic hallucinations; a phenomenon that occurs in the transition between wakefulness and dream sleep. This effectively means I dream and hallucinate while I am awake. While the condition is limiting in everyday life, it provides another dimension for creativity that I explore and document in my artwork. Images from my subconscious seem to appear on the canvas as I paint, and even reference material, from life or photographs, begin to distort and morph into something new.
Because Paintings created using Hypnagogic Dream Intrusion is very rare. I am working with neurologists at Guys Hospital to clearer understand why this happens and I am talking with BBC producers about creating a documentary on hypnogogia and creativity.

This original artwork is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and will be packaged and shipped using the best couriers

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.
