Not posed. Not performing. Not yet aware of being watched. The brushwork here is intentionally loose — fast in places, deliberate in others — because presence itself is like that. It arrives and slips away before you've finished looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the artist's process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'm a London-based painter living with a clinically diagnosed neurological condition called REM intrusion — verified by a sleep specialist, documented in my medical records. The condition causes dream-state imagery to surface during waking hours. I don't paint \u003cem\u003einspired by\u003c\/em\u003e dreams. I paint what I am literally seeing, in real time, as the boundary between sleep and waking dissolves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat means every portrait I paint is filtered through a perception that is simultaneously awake and dreaming. The figures in my work carry weight beyond their surfaces — they arrive already charged with the quality of the unconscious mind. Collectors and curators who ask what makes a Ryan Louder portrait different from another expressionist portrait: this is the answer. It's provable. It's in my medical file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMedium: Oil on canvas board\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSize: 50×50 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOriginal, unique work — not a print or reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSigned by the artist\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShips carefully packaged via tracked courier from London\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCertificate of authenticity included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"In The Moment\" is exactly that — one moment, caught by a painter whose perception operates on the edge of two states of consciousness simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ryan Louder","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":58162274894169,"sku":null,"price":1293.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Signed A3 Print (16x20\" Mount)","offer_id":58162274926937,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4246\/3577\/files\/5f31a8f1487d4f439e3c25deb3291386_opt_c3570426-8fb6-478a-b33c-52926c4b84e1.jpg?v=1777841287","url":"https:\/\/ryanlouder.com\/products\/in-the-moment-by-ryan-louder","provider":"Ryan Louder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
