About the artwork

Once again showcasing his recurring motif of moving beyond difference, divide and limiting social convention, the artist anthropomorphizes his animal subject in an effort to not only display the cat and fish as friends- rather than expected enemies- but as an allegory to the possibilities of man at harmony with nature and animals as well. The undercurrent commentary is one that examines what truly pits one against the other, ad how easily such lines can be erased if the world was one of love and joy. Artwork © Britto Central, Inc

About the artist

Romero Britto (born 6 October 1963) is a Brazilian Neo-pop artist, painter, serigrapher and sculptor. He combines elements of cubism, pop art and graffiti painting in his work. Britto has lived in Miami, Florida since 1989. Shortly after Britto arrived in the United States, Michel Roux, founder of Absolut Vodka's Absolut Art Ad Campaign, happened to visit Britto's first studio in Coconut Grove, Florida. Roux quickly asked Britto to reinterpret the famous bottle, which would be published and seen by millions. Consistently challenging himself, Britto has completed other corporate works for Movado, Disney, Enrico Coveri, Pepsi, the United Nations, BMW and Royal Caribbean Cruises.
