Richard Rowan
Spring 2025
Inspired by his favourite places to visit with his family, contemporary fine artist, Richard Rowan, has placed the Scottish landscape at the heart of this new collection. Fascinated by the nature that surrounds us, Rowan explores a sense of change in these paintings, showing that landscapes are not still, they are constantly transforming. Studying landscapes frame by frame, the artist is always watching for the perfect moment to immortalise on glass, aware of even the smallest shifts in his surroundings.
Often finding himself lost in moments of observing a landscape, Rowan shares the feelings of awe and escapism that he experiences in nature through his artwork for people to enjoy in their own homes. Encouraging people to stop and enjoy the endless nuances and drama of nature, Rowan hopes that his work will prevent people from taking the beautiful landscapes that surround us for granted.

Richard Rowan
“I do like to challenge myself with difficult work. Painting oil on glass can make you want to tear your hair out but is also satisfying at the same time. When I sit down to paint,I want to paint better than the last time,pushing the boundaries of what I can do.”
The artist
Richard Rowan
From the Icelandic wilderness to the fiery horizons of Thailand and towering mountains of Norway to spectacular Scotland, his atmospheric scenes allow viewers to escape from everyday life, creating a sense of intrigue in any living space. Richard is the only artist to be creating art in this style, and his incredible landscapes are so detailed that they are often mistaken for photographs, when in fact each one has been meticulously painted by hand using his reverse painting technique.
As the only fine artist successfully creating artworks in this style, Richard has become a part of the history of the glass art form, which dates back to Roman times and can also be seen in the Gothic period. Unlike canvas, glass interacts with the light, bringing his works to sparkling life.
