Botero statue


This is a piss take on Botero, the most famous artist in Colombia. Found at Cartegena's Independence festival this weekend.


And this here is the real Botero statue!

Frenando Botero as you may have notice is famous for his work with regards to fat-ness. This is seen in his museum in Medellin and Bogota. His art work includes sculptures and paintings. It is very interesting to see how he potray all his subjects, from dogs, fruit plates to people, in a "fat" form.

For more information on Botero and hiswork, check out Wikipedia and Museum Syndicate.

Love these. There was a series of them in the main piazza in Florence a few years ago. I think Botero lives there.
