The "Statue on the corner of Bernard and St. Paul" is named
The Working Man and has apparently been there for quite a number of years. It has also been a BookCrossing Zone for quite a number of years, ever since
When Kambia Elaine Flew in from Neptune, by Lori Aurelia Williams, was released into the urban wilderness on Tuesday, May 18, 2004.
The Working Man is one of several works by Denis Kleine on display in Kelowna and area. This work is very much lifelike and very detailed. It makes one want to say "Hi" and strike up a conversation.
From "Kelowna Public Art":
"The Working Man
Denis Kleine, 1989
NW Corner of Bernard Avenue & St. Paul Street
This life-sized bronze sculpture of a working man at rest was funded by Culos Construction. Check out the interesting detail in the toolbox, hardhat and the gloves in his back pocket."
