A blend of Giclée printed foreground with meticulously hand-painted background, ‘A Tale To Be Told XVIII’ is a vibrant unique mixed media artwork inspired by the wild, ever-changing beauty of Loch Hourn.

Capturing the unique beauty of a place that feels completely untouched by time, this unique artwork is a mesmerising tribute to the many incredible vistas of nature and the changing views possible in just one spot with the passing of time and light.

With magical green hues, the serene landscape evokes a sense of grandiosity and calm, highlighted by its reflection in the water.

A pioneer of reverse painting on glass Richard Rowan has created an atmospheric scene that allows us to escape from everyday life and take notice of the changing possibilities of nature. The sky takes full stage, framed by the detailed silhouette of the mountains with an incredible gradience of colour and depth.

While working on this collection of unique artworks, Rowan listened to August Wilhelmsson’s album "Transfixed,” which profoundly influenced the ambiance of the pieces.

Produced in high-quality giclée on glass, Rowan's silhouetted foreground has been reverse printed in layers onto glass, perfectly reflecting the incredible techniques used in his original artwork, and returned to his London studio. Rowan has meticulously hand-painted each vista using his reverse painted layering technique, often involving several coatings of paint to be applied, taken away, and built in complex blended layers to create a completely unique image with incredible depth and photorealism.
