ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Le Tigre embodies controlled power. The gaze is frontal, steady, almost confrontational — a silent warning rather than a roar. This is not a scene of action, but a moment of absolute dominance, frozen in time.
The composition magnifies the head and shoulders, bringing the viewer face to face with the animal. The stencil work carves the fur into sharp, rhythmic fragments, creating a vibrating surface where tension builds through contrast and precision. Every cut reinforces the sensation of latent strength, ready to be unleashed.
The textured background blends deep greens with raw golden accents, evoking both jungle density and regal symbolism. The yellow drips introduce a sense of unpredictability — a reminder that beneath control lies instinct.
This artwork goes beyond animal representation. The tiger becomes a metaphor for inner strength, authority, and solitude at the top of the hierarchy. A figure that does not need to prove its power — it simply exists.
A large-format statement piece, designed to command space and attention, ideal for collectors seeking an artwork that radiates strength, presence, and timeless symbolism.
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.
SHIPPING
The artwork will be carefully packed using professional, reinforced materials to ensure maximum protection during transport.
