About this artwork
When he first visited the English Lake District, Sobue was instantly attracted to the beauty of its ancient landscape. At the foot of mountains, on the meadows and by the lakes, old houses covered their roofs with slates, Herdwick sheep grazing on the grass, and above all, stone walls meandering through hills and fields, all looked stunningly beautiful and still are.
Stone walls provide field boundaries as well as shelter for livestock and blend… into the Lakeland scenery beautifully. However, the roots lie as far back as the middle ages when first enclosure took place in the early 13th century. Stone walls are, as it were, the eyewitness of English history and the embodiment of vernacular art making each highland scenery uniquely special. Sobue just wanted to portray them as a taciturn yet honest witness of the history situated quietly in the midst of the Lake District widely know for its rough weather. Hence the title, "Evening Rain".

« Art is a microcosm which traverses a broad scope of academic studies. I, as an artist, seek to reveal its multifaceted meaning through my artworks. »
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.
