Fernando Botero

ISTANBUL.- Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation
Pera
Museum welcomed one of the most exceptional artists of the 21st century,

Fernando Botero in İstanbul for the very first time with an exhibition
comprising a selection of 64 works. Botero’s art is not exclusively a
narration
or a representation, but brings with it the force of an inner vision, of
his
knocking on life’s door. Protecting his Latin and Colombian identity,
Botero has
succeeded forming his own style nourished not only by folkloric elements
but
also by the works of grand masters, and has poured his rich inner world
into his
works with a sophisticated, humorous and wise approach. From
acrobats
to matadors, dancing people to naked lovers, cardinals to sad clowns and
to
musicians, the exhibition invites us to discover Botero’s lyricism and
his
enchanting world.
