This work was based on the memory of a walk I enjoyed with my family and friends on an icy cold wintery day. The family depicted in this work is imaginary. By depicting them out of focus and almost out of reach, I question the concept of the ideal family. This is a reflection of my upbringing in an orphanage in Japan, where I grew up until the age of 18. It also reflects my thoughts on the family structures in the 21st century. The diptych was originated in Greece and adopted into Christianity as a portable altarpiece for travelling. I explored to enhance the concept for indicating 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 a notion of history and philosophy with my reflection on art and a sense of place. Hence the work entitled “Winter Walk (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
