Fernando Botero
Sculptor Fernando Botero is over 80 years old and during his long life has produced numerous striking sculptures.
The first Botero sculpture I noticed was in Singapore inside the outdoor shopping mall beside Buona Vista MRT train station. A big bold black horse. Smooth sculpture. Impressive, imposing, memorable, monumental. Strong. Curvaceous.

(Also look for Rodin's Thinker.)
