Each of the paintings captures the same landscape, observing how one scene can change so vastly throughout the days and months. Although the viewpoint of each piece may be the same, each has its own mood and personality. Where some may feature the cool glow of twilight, another may capture the warmth of the setting sun.
After Rowan originally painted the foreground, his process was replicated in a reverse giclée printing technique, applied in layers to the glass. The artist has then meticulously hand-painted each landscape using his innovative reverse painting technique to create a collection of stunning unique artworks which follow the moments of change in a single landscape and the feelings of awe they inspire.

Inspired by the wild, untouched landscape of Loch Hourn in Scotland, Richard Rowan has captured its dynamic beauty throughout this collection. Rowan found the loch to be one of those rare places where you can observe almost every kind of sky, from auroras that light up the night, to the Milky Way stretching overhead, to fiery sunsets, soft sunrises and dramatic rolling clouds. Finding that the landscape shifted minute by minute, the artist felt compelled to paint moments that others might miss, allowing the viewer to stop and take the time to appreciate the wonder of the world around us.

Richard Rowan has a personal tradition of choosing a specific soundtrack to listen to whilst he paints a collection. He finds that the music puts him in the right mindset to create his dramatic, and often moving, artworks. This collection was painted to the soundtrack of ‘We Will Survive’ by August Wilhelmsson from the album Transfixed.
The artist encourages the viewer to listen to the track whilst viewing his art, to create a multisensory experience. Rowan says, “If someone listens to the same piece of music I was listening to when I painted the piece, hopefully they can feel the same sort of energy, or the same path I was on when I was painting it.”

Landscape is a truly enduring theme in art. It can be seen hanging on the walls of art novices, established collectors and just about everyone in between in some form. Whether it’s a painting, a print or a photograph, landscape art is not just a reflection of the world around us, but a deeply personal and emotional expression of how we connect with nature.
From animals in formaldehyde to COVID antigen tests, artists have used weird and wonderful materials to create art throughout history. Ancient civilisations would adorn themselves with animal bones, and many modern artists are incorporating recycled materials into their work to support environmentalism.
Nature's endless beauty is captured in a new edition of Richard Rowan's Infinite collection with two new monochrome works depicting the Milky Way.
