Roger Ridley (b. 1996, New York City) is a multidisciplinary visual artist and creative producer whose work exists at the intersection of art, performance, music, and immersive experience. Best known for his painterly, dream-like visual language, Ridley expands beyond the canvas through Midnight Muse, a production venture dedicated to crafting intimate, sensorial performances throughout New York City.

Rooted in themes of race, psychology, physics, and technology, Ridley’s visual practice spans painting, drawing, fabric, and installation—often set within futuristic and ethereal landscapes. His work moves fluidly between fine art and street art, from bold paste-ups in public space to meticulously layered studio pieces that explore the meta-human condition and the evolving relationship between the mind, technology, and contemporary culture.

Through Midnight Muse, Ridley has emerged as a cultural connector and producer, curating live performances and collaborative experiences that bring together visual artists, musicians, dancers, and DJs. These events have taken place in partnership with luxury hotels, private members clubs, and bespoke venues across the city, transforming spaces into ephemeral worlds where art, sound, and atmosphere converge. His productions are known for their intimacy, elegance, and cinematic mood—blurring the line between exhibition, performance, and nightlife.

By merging disciplines and communities, Ridley challenges traditional boundaries of artistic presentation, inviting audiences not only to view art, but to inhabit it. His work encourages continual questioning of perception, identity, and creative freedom in an ever-accelerating society.

Ridley’s work can be found in private collections internationally, including the United States, South Africa, and France.
