Elements 2026
Celebrating two decades of Richard Rowan’s enduring relationship with Castle Fine Art, Elements offers a captivating new chapter in the artist’s exploration of the natural world. Across six new hand-signed limited-edition artworks, Rowan brings together the motifs that have become synonymous with his practice, quiet horizons and solitary trees to dramatic skies, auroral light and the mysteries of the cosmos, revealing the extraordinary variety that can be found within these seemingly familiar elements.
At the heart of these remarkable landscapes is Rowan’s pioneering mastery of reverse painting on glass. Defying the conventional order of painting, he works from the foreground backwards, meticulously building each image in layers before the final composition is revealed through the glass.

“With all the new styles of work I do, it's a matter of experimenting with new ways of working”

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.
