It does not matter as there are no pronouncements from the Vatican or in Church Tradition on which direction statues should face. However, it is Church tradition that Mass is said, and inferred to an extent, that we should pray, towards the East, towards the rising sun, as a symbol of Christ's Resurrection. So by that logic the statues would face west. None of this is binding however, except for the building of churches which always has the congregation (and before Vatican II, the Priest) facing east.
