Hideyuki Sobue
Hideyuki Sobue is a Japanese artist who gleans inspiration from all things, from the animate and the inanimate, but especially from the beautiful environs of the Lake District where he has lived for many years. His work is finely detailed. “I employ a brush hatching technique using acrylic and Japanese sumi ink, which I’ve invented and developed in recent years. This is also inspired by the classic method disegno, based on drawing, established in Florentine school in early Renaissance era.”
