ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Le Gorille” is a powerful tribute to one of the most emblematic figures of the animal kingdom.
This artwork captures the quiet force, dignity and presence of the gorilla through a bold and refined stencil composition. More than a simple animal portrait, the piece conveys a deep sense of wisdom, calm authority and primal strength. The gorilla’s gaze gives the work an immediate emotional impact, inviting the viewer into a silent yet intense confrontation.
Often associated with protection, intelligence and inner power, the gorilla becomes here a symbol of both vulnerability and majesty. Alexandre Petrus translates these qualities through a carefully hand-cut composition, where every detail of the fur and expression is balanced by the strength of contrast and the purity of the lines.
The vibrant blue background enhances the subject’s presence and gives the piece a striking visual depth. It creates a contemporary atmosphere while reinforcing the noble and timeless nature of the animal. The textured surface, built instinctively, contrasts beautifully with the precision of the stencil, bringing the work to life with both spontaneity and control.
“Le Gorille” is a captivating and character-filled artwork — a strong statement piece for collectors drawn to wildlife, raw emotion and contemporary urban aesthetics.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist known for his distinctive visual language, combining the raw energy of street art with the precision of hand-crafted technique.
Working exclusively with hand-cut stencils, he has developed a recognizable and refined signature style, where every line is carefully designed and manually executed. His work stands at the intersection of digital creation, traditional craftsmanship and contemporary urban art.
What defines his approach is a unique balance between control and spontaneity. While the subject is meticulously constructed through layered stencil work, the background is created instinctively, making each piece truly one of a kind. This philosophy — which he defines as “originality in repetition” — ensures that no artwork is ever reproduced or duplicated.
His creations explore a wide range of themes, from wildlife and human emotion to pop culture and classical reinterpretations, allowing his work to resonate with a broad international audience.
Over the years, Alexandre Petrus has built a growing base of collectors across Europe and internationally, attracted by the uniqueness, consistency and strong identity of his work.
Each artwork is an original piece — no prints, no editions — making every acquisition a unique and exclusive addition to a collection.
