Continuer et découvrir devant soi, un Botero...nu et accueillant. S'en approcher et caresser du regard celle qui se donne.
Strolling on and finding out a woman (by Fernando Botero) inviting us to come closer. Caressing it with lustful eyes.
THE PRESIDENT (El Presidente)
In the portrait entitled "The President", Botero examines themes of legality, power and irony as they pertain to Colombian governance. Intentionally avoiding the outright satire that accompanies caricature. Botero exhibits a gentle mocking of Colombian political figures. The vacant expression on the face of the President could suggest two polar realities drawn from the history of Latin America, that of the cruel dictator, or that of the spineless marionette acting as a figurehead for higher powers."

Fernando Botero Angulo (born April 19, 1932 in Medellín, Antioquia) is a Colombian figurative artist, self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, coming to prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1959.
His work includes still-lifes and landscapes, but Botero tends to primarily focus on situational portraiture. His paintings and sculptures are, on first examination, noted for their exaggerated proportions and the corpulence of the human and animal figures.

…at the lobby of the Trump international Hotel & Tower Panama, by Fernando Botero Angulo (born April 19, 1932) is a Colombian figurative artist. His works feature a figurative style, called by some "Boterismo", which gives them an unmistakable identity. Botero depicts women, men, daily life, historical events and characters, milestones of art, still-life, animals and the natural world in general, with exaggerated and disproportionate volume try, accompanied by fine details of scathing criticism, irony, humor, and ingenuity.
Self-titled "the most Colombian of Colombian artists" early on, he came to national prominence when he won the first prize at the Salón de Artistas Colombianos in 1958. Working most of the year in Paris, in the last three decades he has achieved international recognition for his paintings, drawings and sculpture, with exhibitions across the world. His art is collected by major museums, corporations and private collectors.

I composed this shot to include the title of the piece and the sculptor's name -- Venus, by Fernando Botero. The last time I shot it (when it was on the second floor; here it's on the first), I didn't do that and couldn't remember either for a caption to my Flickr posting.
5 tonnes’ worth of voluptuous beauty has occupied this Broadgate Circus site since 1990 and is the work of Colombian artist Fernando Botero. With her exaggerated form, was he making an oblique comment on City excess?

Raval, the up and coming neighbourhood that runs almost parallel with La Rambla, is getting trendier by the minute. Now having its own Rambla, it’s definitely worth a visit, if only to see the fat cat! Located on Rambla del Raval, the large bronze feline stands with its thick tail. The poor kitty has had an unsettled life. Brought to Barcelona in 1987 it has already moved twice. It once stood in front of the MACBA but after much discussion was moved to the new Rambla.
The artist responsible for the Cat is the well-known Fernando Botero. A Colombian painter and sculptor who is renowned for his exaggerated, puffed up human and animal forms. The huge idiosyncratic bronze sculptures have been displayed in the centres of cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Madrid, Tokyo, and Chicago.
There was quite a lot of conflict and indecision about the poor cat’s location. Given Botero’s reputation, he was pretty annoyed that it was moved from outside the MACBA, a busy hub of contemporary art to a relatively unknown street, but it does mean that it is reaching other parts of this developing barrio.
