Fernando Botero (1952-) is a Colombian artist whose works have gained renown in many corners of the world. The key characteristic of his art is that the subjects in it are depicted in a plump, rotund manner, such as his version of the Mona Lisa below.
A special exhibition taking place at the Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art will display around 70 of Botero's works, including oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings from different stages throughout his career. The event will be the first time in 26 years that a Botero exhibition has been held in Japan.
Adult admission to the event is priced at ¥1700 on weekdays, and ¥1800 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
