About the Artist
John Sauvé of Brighton Michigan is the artist and creator behind the phenomenon called The Man in the City Project. At this point in time there are over 100 Man in the City sculptures on rooftops across Detroit, in Windsor, Canada, Michigan, Illinois, and they were exhibited on the landmark High Line in New York City as well as Governor’s Island in New York City. Perrysburg is proud to have the large-scale version of Man in the City on display. In keeping with the artist's goal to encourage people to look up and look around to see their surroundings, community members and visitors will find the sculpture installed in plain sight in a pocket park called Mile Marker Park.

Artist Statement 
"The Man in the City Project creates a metaphor for life that transforms the skyline, or grounds it stands on and encourages people to look around. To activate the skyline and encourage people to look around. In the process of looking and finding, one re-assesses one's own position in the world and becomes aware of one's scale within the very fabric of the city. Man in the City is as much about the sculpture as it is about the people and the locations involved in the project."
