Artist's Comments
A still life of my Faceless Sage sculpture with my acrylic brushes, my weapons stand, and some early Katakana brushings.
Charcoal using reductive method and cante crayon to enhance the blacks. I had developed the figure of the "Faceless Sage" to help give an embodiment to what I stand for. You might say; "the Universe views all people as straw dogs," which partially covers it. The Faceless Sage is me and yet it is you. Because he has a figure and obvious demeanor, he stands for obvious traits; such as stability of mind, body and spirit, relaxation and peace in being. His cloths are often much like those of a man of humble living. The lack of a face is not due to merely the idea that he has none, but that it has no one identity. He embodies the meaning of the term "namaste" (The light in me sees the light in you.") This being is not outside of you, like many figures may imply, but he is witihin you. Even the idea of it being a "he" is only a title used for convenience while speaking. |

 reports, 1d 18h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

i have to ask.. what's with all the faceless sages ? are they something you came up with or some older form of japanese art?
is it about anonymity ? or about decentralizing an individual and making them just a body, a vessel? it's curious....
