"Bluefin Bullet"
Always on the lookout for public art, I discovered this wonderful life-size sculpture of a bluefin tuna in downtown Charlottetown. Part of a series of commissioned pieces, it was done by artist Gerald Beaulieu and was installed in 2011. The scales of the fish are made from stainless steel spoons and as Beaulieu says it creates the ultimate fish lure and shows "public art as a lure in a tourist driven economy". Love it!
