"I have created and developed a brush
hatching technique using acrylic and Japanese sumi ink. This was
initially inspired by the classic method of "disegno", based on
drawing, established in Florentine school in Renaissance.
Technically I have enhanced the concept by combining it with the
latest neurological studies, which reveal that the human visual
brain perceives objects by oriented lines predominantly. This
evidence might show the difference between painting and letters,
long hidden in the prehistoric age. In my practice, I attempt to
gather the threads of "narrative" in creating textures of the
ever-changing present moment, embodying semiotic images of our
time." - Hideyuki Sobue
