Midsummer Night's Dream — Original Oil Painting by Ryan Louder

Midsummer Night's Dream — original oil and mixed media on canvas by Ryan Louder.

A reclining figure emerging from near-black, red drips tracing the right edge like arterial marks, a small secondary figure crouched at the lower left, barely separated from the ground.

This painting came straight out of a REM intrusion hallucination — the way forms resolve out of darkness and dissolve back. Ryan paints his dreams in realtime, shaped by narcolepsy with REM intrusion hallucinations, clinically confirmed at Guy's Hospital London.
