Many years ago when walking with dogs on a fine day in winter, I looked up at the sky above and was so fascinated by the expanse of the transparent blue sky that I stood still for a while. Then I wondered how I could tell it is the blue sky I am watching right now is the same as the person beside me enjoys watching. Our visual experience is unique, individual, and personal. It is affected by various factors; physiological variations caused by the difference in our optical functions and visual brain processes, external factors such as the condition of light, mental moods, intellectual backgrounds, etc. Thus our visual experience is unique. Even so, we still agree to name it “blue” and enjoy the blue sky on a fine day. It’s a happy mystery. Regarding the diptych style, it was originated in Greece and adopted into Christianity as a portable altarpiece for travelling. I wanted to enhance the concept to indicate the dualistic meaning, such as life and death, light and darkness, visible and invisible, etc., which has become obsolete in our materialistic society. In this way, I attempted to create a narrative interweaving my analytical thought on seeing with my personal experience. Hence, the title “Sky above Is Blue (Diptych)”.

Hideyuki Sobue (b. 1965) lives and works in the Lake District, UK, yet grew up as an orphan in Aichi, Japan. Working with drawing and painting, two historic media that have served as a fundamental means of communication since prehistoric times, he explores the unbroken line in the relationship between art and humanity. 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. 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
