Dick the English boy is one of 21 bronze statues created by Rachid Khimoune under the concept of Les Enfants du Monde (Children of the World). The statues have been installed in Parc de Bercy in 2001. The statues are made from reused industrial metal items with different textures welded together.
The statue is larger than life.
Dick's face is made from a recycled round manhole cover from London. His eyes are the holes used to insert a rod to lift the cover. His mouth is tinted red and shows the words Borough Council.
