A two-week exhibition of new original works at Castle Fine Art, Mailbox

For over twenty years, Richard Rowan has been at the forefront of contemporary reverse painting on glass, pushing the boundaries of one of the world’s most intricate artistic techniques. By pioneering bespoke methods, custom-made tools and an uncompromising approach to precision, he has established a signature style unlike any other.

This September, Castle Fine Art Mailbox invites you to discover an exceptional new collection of original works by Richard Rowan, presented exclusively over a two-week exhibition.

Spanning the ethereal glow of Iceland’s auroras, the timeless beauty of the British Isles and the awe-inspiring reaches of the cosmos, the collection explores Richard’s enduring fascination with light, atmosphere and the natural world. Each work is meticulously created by hand, demonstrating the extraordinary technical skill and artistic vision that have established Richard as one of the most recognised contemporary artists working on glass today.

More than an exhibition of paintings, this is an opportunity to step inside Richard’s creative world and discover the remarkable process behind his work. Alongside the new collection, visitors will encounter a selection of objects and materials from Richard’s studio, offering a rare insight into the tools, techniques and painstaking craftsmanship involved in creating each piece.

The exhibition will also reveal brand-new concepts never before seen by collectors, alongside the public debut of an exceptional sculptural glass work, created to push Richard’s practice beyond the traditional boundaries of the picture plane.

From the first layer foreground applied to the glass to the final image revealed when inverted, every work is constructed in reverse — demanding absolute precision, patience and an extraordinary understanding of colour, light and perspective.

Discover Richard Rowan’s latest original works and experience the artistry of reverse painting on glass, exclusively at Castle Fine Art Mailbox for two weeks this September.
