The NegotiationLimited edition print Paper Print 
by Ryan Louder

The Negotiation is a large original painting in acrylic ink and oil on canvas, 150 x 100 cm, by London artist Ryan Louder. An epic, futuristic battle scene crowded with figures, dragons and faces surfacing out of the dark.

This painting is part of a body of work shaped by my neurological condition — Narcolepsy with REM Intrusion Hallucinations, clinically confirmed via MSLT at Guy's Hospital, London. The work contains hypnagogic imagery — embedded secondary images, phantom figures, and forms emerging from within the scene.

Neuroaesthetic markers present: densely packed phantom figures — faces, demons, grasping hands; self-luminous forms in electric cyan against darkness, characteristic of REM phosphene colouration; figure-ground collapse throughout — no stable negative space; chimeric fusion of figures with the environment at every boundary.

These markers are not deliberate artistic techniques but direct visual recordings of what REM intrusion hallucinations look like. The imagery emerges from neurological experience, not metaphor. I have painted over 2,000 works, with over 1,000 originals sold.
