ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Le Gorille” captures the silent strength and quiet intelligence of one of the most powerful animals in the wild.
The composition focuses on the face and upper body, drawing attention to the depth of expression in the gorilla’s gaze. There is a balance between power and calm — a presence that feels both imposing and deeply introspective.
The textured background, composed of cool turquoise tones and mineral greys, enhances the atmosphere of the piece. It evokes a natural environment while remaining abstract, allowing the subject to emerge with clarity and intensity.
Created using my signature double-layer stencil technique, the artwork was first digitally designed and then meticulously hand-cut before being applied with spray paint and acrylic. This process allows for a high level of detail in the fur and facial structure, while maintaining the raw, expressive energy of the background.
The contrast between the precision of the stencil and the spontaneity of the background reflects the duality present in the animal itself — strength and sensitivity, instinct and awareness.
This is a unique, original artwork. Even if the stencil may be reused in future works, each background remains entirely one of a kind.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist whose work blends street art aesthetics, digital design and traditional craftsmanship. His stencils are digitally designed and then hand-cut with precision.
His artistic approach is based on the dialogue between control and spontaneity. The stencil provides structure and detail, while the background is created instinctively, allowing textures and emotion to emerge — a philosophy he defines as “originality in repetition.”
He has created murals across France and performs live painting for weddings and corporate events, bringing his urban artistic universe into diverse environments.
All artworks are original pieces — no prints, no editions.
