It was on a fine day in spring many years ago, I found these tulips bloomed in our family garden. I found they were so beautiful. However, the beauty of the flower can be traced back to the 17th century Netherlands. Tulips were so often painted by the Dutch still-life masters in the 17th century. However, it was the mid-16th century when those exotic flowers were newly introduced to Europe from Turkey. Soon tulips became increasingly popular in the Netherlands in a period of great prosperity so-called “Dutch Golden Age” through international trade. Holland was in thrall to tulip mania. The tulip market was thriving and the prices of tulip bulbs skyrocketed. It is said that some single tulip bulbs were sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craft worker at the peak of tulip mania. Then the market for tulips suddenly collapsed. It is considered the first recorded economic crisis. Several years later, the Netherlands became independent from Spain. Tulips in the still-life paintings have become a synonym of transience and frailty of life ever since. History, natural beauty, symbolic meaning, and still life…, all mingled with my personal perspective on a day in spring. Hence the title, “Tulips in Green”.

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
