The WindowLimited edition print Paper Print 
by Ryan Louder

This is one of the biggest paintings I have ever made - a large oil painting on linen canvas, nearly two metres tall and almost three metres wide. It came out of my narcolepsy. I have REM intrusion hallucinations, diagnosed at Guy's Hospital in London, which means dream imagery bleeds into my waking vision. I don't paint these things on purpose; they simply appear as I work, and The Window is full of them.

A pale arch at the upper left reads as both a doorway and a skull. Inside the central mass, faces come and go - a mask-like profile in pale yellow, a broadly painted face in orange at the upper right, smaller figures pressing through the paint lower down. The whole surface is built from wet, assertive slabs of brown, teal, orange and pink, and nothing holds still: every form dissolves at its edges back into the atmosphere around it.

I have painted over 2,000 works and sold more than 1,000 originals. This painting will be carefully packaged and dispatched by tracked courier, and I am always happy to answer questions.
