The Face Modern Art Sculpture by Artist Sculptor Hi Gates

The Face by Artist Sculptor Hi Gates. H.I. Gates has been inspired, in his figurative sculptural creations, by both the form and function of original artifacts which he collects. He has been an avid collector of Japanese art for about fifteen years. Japanese armor is a microcosm of the exquisite artistry that abounds in Japanese art. One of his favorite stylistic sources is the elaborate personal costumes which arrayed members of the Japanese warrior class, the samurai. Samurai armor as an art form has been inspirational to his sculpture, as is Japanese cinema and Gates has been an avid collector of Japanese art for about fifteen years. Speak No Evil is a fanciful personage with an antlered headdress. Thematically, it was inspired by Japanese architectural sculpture of the famed Nikko shrine.
