Mother (2018)Oil painting by Ryan Louder

Mother 16x20 oil on canvas _x000D_
This may seem a weird but if I explain a bit maybe it makes it more revealing. There are few things in life as comforting as mother stroking your hair is a moment your upset as a child. This is why I accent this by oversizing the hand to emphasise the weight of the moment on a child’s psyche. The child looks more cartoon like to represent the innocence the lack of experience. When a child feels happiness and sadness it’s at its most pure because life experience hasn’t coloured or filtered the feeling that they are having.

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.
