{"product_id":"blue-by-ryan-louder-2","title":"Blue by Ryan Louder","description":"\u003cp\u003eSignal Rating: 9\/10 — Strong\u003cbr\u003e\nClassification: Hypnagogic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting by Ryan Louder is part of a body of work shaped by his 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeuroaesthetic markers identified: phantom figures; self-luminous forms; boundary dissolution; unstable identities\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese 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. Ryan has painted over 2,000 works, with over 1,000 originals sold. Each painting in this collection has been subjected to neuroaesthetic forensic analysis to identify and catalogue the perceptual phenomena present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standing figure holds a small bundled form against its chest — the pairing reads as mother and infant, the ambiguity of the rendering sustaining both a human and animal reading. Both figures are painted in near-white against a dominant mid-blue ground, the standing form shading into teal-green at the lower half. No faces are resolved on either figure, only the suggestion of tilt and contact. The background is a field of varied blue brushwork — horizontal and vertical — providing texture without space. The figures glow not through warmth but through their lightness, a near-white self-luminosity separating them from the surrounding blue without anchoring them to any surface below.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ryan Louder","offers":[{"title":"Original - 50.8 x 81.28 x 2.54cm (unframed) \/ 50.8 x 81.28cm (actual image size)","offer_id":57979372208473,"sku":"1034231","price":3250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Signed A3 Print (16x20\" Mount)","offer_id":57979372241241,"sku":"1034231-print-a3","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4246\/3577\/files\/a999ea528669474688c2e9e62b7473ea_opt.jpg?v=1777841583","url":"https:\/\/ryanlouder.com\/products\/blue-by-ryan-louder-2","provider":"Ryan Louder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
