Alexandre Petrus (1988) - L'ARBRE

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A solitary tree, slim trunk leaning slightly, branches spreading sideways like a sketch of patience. The kind of tree that grows where it can, shaped by years of wind, never quite straight but never broken either. Painted in deep ocean blue with hints of lavender, the palette gives the scene the feeling of a long winter morning — quiet, cold, peaceful. A minimalist piece for collectors drawn to nature, Japanese aesthetics, and the kind of image you can keep looking at without ever getting tired of it.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist with a strong and instantly recognizable visual identity. His signature technique — the hand-cut double-layer stencil — separates light and shadow into two distinct stencils, layered onto a spontaneous, hand-painted abstract background. The result: a sharp, iconic figure rising from a vibrant, textured chaos of color.
To date, more than 450 of his original artworks have found their way into private collections across 10+ countries, from France and Spain to the Netherlands, Germany, the UAE, and the US. He has performed live painting for major French institutions including Disneyland Paris, created large-scale murals for corporate headquarters, and exhibited in several French street art festivals (Grimaud, Perpignan, Venelle). His work is currently shown at Galerie Spot 72 in Le Mans.

His subjects move between mythology, pop culture icons, wildlife and emotionally charged scenes. Whatever the theme, the signature remains: precise stencil work, instinctive background, and the small smiling "AP" monogram — Alexandre's two initials fused into a face — sprayed on every original piece.
Each artwork is a unique original. No prints, no editions — every background is painted live on the canvas, so no two pieces are ever the same. And every stencil Alexandre cuts by hand is retired after a small series, never mass-produced, never repeated indefinitely. A genuine acquisition for collectors looking for identity, presence, and a strong contemporary signature that stays scarce.

SHIPPING
