Sct. Mathias torv: vandkunst

Den runde fontæne er en gave til Viborg by fra Handelsbanken. Den blev indviet 28. april 1978.

Sct. Mathias torv er stoppested for ”Dodo toget” som kører om sommeren og til jul. Her findes også til tider tombolasælgere, musikere mv.

Ole Find (1936-85) var som kunstner autodidakt. Han havde inspirationen hjemmefra, hvor bedstefaderen Ludvig Find tidligt gav Ole Find lysten til det kunstneriske virke. 

Efter endt skolegang arbejdede han 2 år på et stenhuggeri, før han fik sin debut som billedhugger på Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling (KE) i 1954. Her fik han en god modtagelse af kritikerne. Flemming Madsen skrev i Berlingske Tidende Aftenavis d. 30/10-1954: "Debutanten Ole Find, der for tiden befinder sig langt fra hjemmet som messedreng på et skib - har 3 skulpturer, der røber helt heerupske tilbøjeligheder til at finde frem til melodien i en sten og digte videre på den."

Det nævnte skib sejlede til fjernøsten og indtrykkene fra de havne, hvor skibet lagde til, kan genfindes i hans kunst.

Fra 60´erne lod Ole Find sig ofte inspirere af marksten hvis udtryk og form satte billedskabende ideer i gang.

Ved at beholde stenen givne form, fastholder Ole Find præget af marksten.

"

That ship sailed to the Far East and impressions from the ports where the ship was to be found in his art.
