Lineal Order

Image of an outdoor work of public art featuring a statue of a man in in only a coat, with his shadow on the wall behind him

Location: 71 Simcoe Street, near King
Date photo taken: 3 June 2014

This gaunt figure stands outside of the Symphony Place condominiums on Simcoe Street. The man, cast in bronze, is dressed in a nondescript overcoat and nothing more. Across from him, unseen in this picture, is another bronze figure, this time of a child, similarly clad in just an overcoat. The figures are timeless and one can't help but wonder what they are meant to evoke, standing as they do on the doorstep of this luxury condominium. The installation is by George Boileau.
