The Boy With Fog In His EyesLimited edition print Paper Print 
by Ryan Louder

The Boy With Fog In His Eyes is an original oil painting on canvas, 92 x 122 cm (36 x 48 inches), by London artist Ryan Louder.

A boy stands barefoot in a field of white posts that lean at angles no fence ever stood at. Too many to be a fence, too irregular to be anything else you can name. His eyes are heavy and half closed, that is the fog of the title, and the landscape behind him sinks into a blue haze with no horizon anywhere. The posts get more crowded and more disorderly the further back they go, the way things do when memory is carrying them instead of physics.

I painted this in 2018. The posts stay ambiguous on purpose, they read as grave markers, or fence posts, or nothing at all, and that not-being-able-to-settle is the point. It is how the scene looked to me.

Oil painting on canvas, painted in my London studio. Carefully packaged and dispatched with a tracked courier. Any questions, just ask.
