Vem är Mr Walker?, Contemporary sculpture in Järnvägsparken, Stockholm, Sweden.
Vem är Mr Walker is a black metal sculpture standing about 7 meters tall, depicting a figure dressed in a hat and coat as a solitary presence. It occupies a notable position in a park near the city's main train station.
Created in 2014 by Swedish artist Jan Håfström, the sculpture is based on a character that appeared repeatedly throughout his paintings. The work emerged from years of artistic exploration with this recurring figure.
The figure represents themes of solitude and personal memory that touch visitors emotionally. These ideas connect to the artist's broader exploration of human experience beyond just this single work.
The sculpture stands in a public park near the central train station and is easily reached by train or metro. You can view it from multiple angles to see how the figure appears differently from each vantage point.
The black metal form reveals different silhouettes depending on where you view it from. This optical shift makes every approach to the work a fresh experience.
