Standing Man

Standing Man is a bronze sculpture depicting an upright human figure standing on a pedestal in the center of the public square Rådhustorget. The work shows a realistic portrayal of a person in a relaxed stance.

Sean Henry created this bronze sculpture in 2007 as a significant addition to Umeå's public art collection. The work marked an important moment in the artistic development of this public square.

The figure embodies contemporary artistic expression in public space and shows the town's commitment to weaving art into its urban environment.

The sculpture sits in the center of Rådhustorget and serves as an easy reference point for visitors and locals alike. The location is straightforward to reach on foot and offers a natural gathering spot in the heart of the city.

The figure changes its visual presence as you walk around it, with different angles revealing distinct expressions and movement sensations. This shift in perspective turns the sculpture into an interactive experience for anyone moving through the square.
