Orlando Agudelo-Botero is recognized as one of South America’s leading artists.  He is the recipient of the White House Heritage Hispanic Award for Visual Arts.  Botero’s works are in public and private collections as well as museums throughout the world.   Botero’s artwork is sophisticated, dynamic, colorful, powerful and often melodic.   The artist combines a modern, free-form aesthetic with a personal humanist philosophy.  His figures, while rendered in a contemporary, slightly abstracted style, project a timeless spirituality, which reflects the religious and pre-Columbian influences of the artist’s Latin American heritage.   A master of texture and various media’s, he is brilliant at integrating various processes to create a dramatically moving work.   All his pieces are “unique” in the greatest sense.  His “original multiples” are literally created and executed by himself entirely.  In every case, there is a limited use of serigraphy where he then goes back and hand works each piece extensively with various media’s.    Price includes frame and free shipping within the United States.  Certificate of Authenticity provided.   Place a Bid!
