The ‘Soaring Frenchman’ sculpture, crafted by the renowned French sculptor César, was gifted to Hong Kong by the Cartier Foundation in 1992, thus making its home along the Fragrant Harbour. Leung Siu-kee, a member of the Hong Kong Sculpture Society and curator of the 2008 Hong Kong Sculpture Biennale, marveled at its magic, stating, ‘It is a magical sculpture.’ Characterized by its beautiful, bold, rugged, and masculine geometric shapes, it encapsulates the beauty of masculinity, the beauty of imperfection, and the beauty of war. Accessible all year round, it is open to the public 24/7.
