Alfredo Y Alberto is a 2009 by East London Printmakers, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a black cat draped in a blue, patterned cloth like a fancy tent or cloak. The cat is sitting under a striped blue canopy with tassels hanging down. The background is plain white, and the whole scene looks like it was drawn with bold, flat colors. The cat’s outfit and the tent-like covering give it a playful, almost royal look. The artist’s signature says "Alfredo y Alberto," though the print is by East London Printmakers. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more prints like this.
The 2009 screenprint titled *Alfredo Y Alberto* by East London Printmakers shows two hybrid figures—a bird-like creature and a cat-like creature—joined at the torso, each facing opposite directions while wearing layered garments in blue, black, and white. Positioned beneath a circus tent with a blue roof and feathered plumes, the composition blends whimsical and surreal elements. The print is signed, numbered, and titled by the artist.
