After the sunset, as darkness sets in, all colours fade away and the blue tone becomes predominant in your eyes. It is due to the function of the photoreceptor in our eyes; colour-sensitive cone cells in the retina become dull while light-sensitive rod cells become activated. The rod cells are most sensitive to wavelengths of light around 498nm (green-blue), which don’t distinguish colours but respond best to green-blue light under low levels of illumination. Hence, in the moonlight, our vision tends to be sensitive most to the blue tone. We know this visual effect and experience it daily, but we so often neglect such an elaborate and sophisticated system of our eyes. As an artist, I'm convinced that the visual experience is the core of my practice. Even in the twilight, the dim glow of moonlight, the beauty of things such as this flower, which blooms today and withers away tomorrow, unfolds in our eyes. I just wanted to share such a miraculous visual experience found in our everyday life. It is also the reflection of the fragility of life along the line of the Still Life tradition. Hence, the work titled “Blue Moonlight”.

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
