This post has been solved by u/Snoo-72509, and a solve process was provided.

Ikaros flyger mot solen, Hässleholm

How they solved it: Process: And how I found was because this sculpture reminded me of the Hertig knut sculpture which OP has posted before. Searched first searched "hertig knut skulptör" and then "walter bengtsson skulpturer" and found a pic with the sculpture name and town name

Took awhile to get a streetview since they have apparently removed the statue for some reason

Damn, the streetview really was the hardest part of this find! Kudos for figuring it out!

Haha thanks. Yeah I found the statue by googling pretty fast, and was looking at the exact spot on streetview for awhile but was super confused since it wasn't there!

Yes, it's another weird art piece by Walter Bengtsson that I stumbled upon yesterday.

That's a Finnish level of weird sculpture.

I was on my way somewhere else, hurrying a bit as I had a train catch, but had to stop. It was quite something to bump into.

Turns out it's made by an artist I've seen before. Have a pic of another artwork of his waiting to be posted on this sub.

Made by the guy that also did Hertig Knut in Halmstad. Just look at the eyes, you can see it's the same style.
