…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.

Even a brief glance at this piece allows you to feel Botero's mastery of the feminie form. The reclining woman's voluptuous body cascades over this piece. Notice the reclining woman's far off stare. Was she caught unaware or is she deep in thought? One of Botero's main influences was Peter Paul Rubens, who was also known for his large, beautiful depictions of women. The idea of Rubenesque women has gradually given way to the concept of a "Botero" feminine for which represents a celebration of sensuality or a reveling in voluptuousness.
