{"product_id":"blue-door-red-door-by-ryan-louder","title":"Blue Door Red Door by Ryan Louder","description":"\u003cp\u003eSignal Rating: 8\/10 — Strong\u003cbr\u003e\nClassification: Dissociative\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 dissociative imagery — boundary dissolution, figure-ground collapse, and spatial incoherence consistent with REM intrusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeuroaesthetic markers identified: mirror-double composition — figure and reflection create unstable identity duplication; both figures rendered in same ghost-white pallor suggesting neither is primary; figure faces away — identity withheld; coloured doorways (red\/blue) function as threshold symbols; boundary dissolution between figure and background; self-luminous pale bodies against dark field; secondary image: which version is real is unresolvable\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\u003eTwo near-identical figures face one another, both in pale blue-green — so close in tone and form that the question of which is body and which is reflection is not resolved. The left figure faces outward, its face partially legible, a hand raised to its head. The right figure has its back entirely to the viewer. Between and behind them, the background is structured: a warm yellow-green vertical band at far left, a dark-striped centre ground of navy horizontal lines, and at the back wall two rectangular panels — one red, one blue — functioning as threshold markers. Both figures glow against the dark ground, neither more substantial than the other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ryan Louder","offers":[{"title":"Original - 101.6 x 76.2 x 2.54cm (unframed)","offer_id":57979376697689,"sku":"1093334","price":2351.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Signed A3 Print (16x20\" Mount)","offer_id":57979376730457,"sku":"1093334-print-a3","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4246\/3577\/files\/06d956206f614527882ee40a65c4d229_opt_6089ffbd-11bc-40aa-a01e-9b72fa3fa929.jpg?v=1777841611","url":"https:\/\/ryanlouder.com\/products\/blue-door-red-door-by-ryan-louder","provider":"Ryan Louder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
