Le Roi Lion Alexandre Petrus (AP) Hand-cut multi-layer stencil and spray paint Cotton canvas 120 x 80 x 2 cm 2026 Hand-signed on the back – “AP” monogram sprayed on the front Original work delivered with a signed certificate of authenticity Mint ABOUT THE ARTWORK Le Roi Lion is not a nostalgic tribute. It is a declaration of legacy, hierarchy, and transmission. The composition is built as a visual totem. At its center, the lion stands elevated, calm and dominant — not roaring, not attacking, but observing. Power here is not expressed through violence, but through presence. Authority is silent. Surrounding figures form a symbolic ecosystem rather than a narrative scene. Each character represents a role: loyalty, innocence, intuition, continuity. The upward orientation reinforces the idea of elevation, of succession, of something greater than the individual. The textured background, raw and mineral, evokes a scorched land shaped by time and struggle. The warm, earthy palette intensifies the emotional gravity of the piece, balancing strength with vulnerability. Through layered stencil work, the figures appear carved rather than painted — as if emerging from memory or myth. This technique anchors the artwork between popular culture and timeless symbolism. This piece resonates with collectors sensitive to themes of leadership, legacy, and generational passage. It transforms a universally known icon into a powerful contemporary emblem of responsibility and inner strength. ABOUT THE ARTIST I am a French stencil artist whose work explores contrast — between instinct and precision, chaos and control, heritage and contemporary expression. My practice combines spontaneous, textured backgrounds with meticulously hand-cut multi-layer stencils. I have exhibited alongside major figures of the urban art scene such as L’Atlas, C215, Carole B, Wawapod, and Jo Di Bona at the SPERA ART FAIR. My work has been collected throughout Europe, with more than 300 artworks sold internationally. I also create live painting performances for major institutions and brands, including Disneyland Paris. Each artwork is a unique original. While stencils may be reused, every background is created instinctively, ensuring that no two works are ever identical. My work focuses on iconic figures, powerful animals, and symbolic imagery, reinterpreted through tension, restraint, and emotional intensity.
