About the tutor
Japanese visual artist Hideyuki Sobue, who graduated from Osaka University of Arts, lives and works in the Lake District.
Sobue uses an entirely original brush hatching technique employing Japanese sumi ink and acrylic. Created through a fusion of influences, the concept of Disegno in the Florentine school of the Renaissance, oriental artistic heritage and neurological studies, Sobue’s medium attempts to create a platform bridging East and West, and explore the interdisciplinary approach related to the human act of seeing, delving into the mystery and uniqueness of humanity.
Sobue has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and Japan. Notable exhibitions include ‘A Letter to the Earth from Beatrix’ commissioned by the National Trust and supported by Arts Council England (Allan Bank, Grasmere), and ‘Conversation with Ruskin’, celebrating the bicentenary of John Ruskin’s birth, supported by Arts Council England (the Blue Gallery, Brantwood, Coniston/ The Ruskin, Lancaster University, Lancaster), and ‘Wordsworth and Basho: Walking Poets’ (Itami City Art Museum Kakimori Bunko, Japan).
Sobue’s works are currently held in public & private collections in Japan, China, Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada and the USA.
