Richard Rowan
Summer 2026
Celebrating 20 years with Castle Fine Art and marking another significant chapter in Richard Rowan’s artistic journey, the Summer 2026 collection invites viewers into landscapes shaped as much by emotion as by place. Vast horizons, luminous skies, and solitary scenes unfold across the series, creating moments of quiet contemplation that feel suspended between memory and imagination.
While this collection reflects upon two decades of technical innovation, with Rowan's reverse oil-on-glass technique achieving an extraordinary level of refinement and artistic growth, it is equally focused on the future. Rather than a culmination, these works represent a continuation of Rowan's lifelong exploration of landscape, light, and atmosphere.

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.
