When I first visited the English Lake District, I was instantly attracted to the beauty of its ancient landscape. At the foot of the 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 the 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. I just wanted to portray them as a taciturn yet honest witness of the history situated quietly amid the Lake District widely known for its rough weather. Hence the title, "Evening Rain".

Japanese visual artist Hideyuki Sobue (b. 1965), who graduated from Osaka University of Arts, lives and works in the Lake District, UK, yet grew up as an orphan in Aichi, Japan. Working with drawing and painting, two historical 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, 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
