ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Bacchus” is a striking reinterpretation of the Roman god of wine, pleasure and abundance, transformed through a bold contemporary stencil language.
In this composition, Bacchus appears powerful, intense and deeply expressive, holding a bunch of grapes as a direct symbol of celebration, fertility and sensuality. Far from a simple classical quotation, the figure becomes a living presence — both timeless and modern — carrying the theatrical force of mythology into a contemporary urban aesthetic.

The vibrant red-orange background gives the artwork an immediate visual impact. It evokes heat, passion, festivity and the richness of wine, perfectly echoing the spirit of Bacchus. This luminous and fiery palette energizes the composition and enhances the sculptural quality of the figure.

The contrast between the instinctive, textured background and the precision of the hand-cut stencil is at the core of the piece’s strength. The background brings raw energy and movement, while the carefully layered portrait reveals expression, depth and character with remarkable graphic clarity.

“Bacchus” is an artwork about excess, vitality and the eternal connection between mythology and human emotion. It is a bold, elegant and highly decorative piece, designed to captivate the eye and bring a strong presence to any collection or interior.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist whose work stands out for its instantly recognizable visual identity, combining the raw power of street art with the refinement of meticulous hand-crafted technique.
Specialized in hand-cut stencils, he has developed a strong and distinctive artistic signature, where precision, contrast and emotion come together in a powerful visual language. Each composition is carefully constructed, then brought to life on textured, instinctive backgrounds that make every piece feel vibrant, unique and alive.

What makes Alexandre Petrus’s work especially compelling is this rare balance between mastery and spontaneity. His subjects are crafted with remarkable precision, while the painted backgrounds are created freely and intuitively, giving each artwork its own rhythm, atmosphere and singular presence. This approach reflects what defines his universe: originality in repetition. Even when a stencil is reused, the artwork itself is never duplicated.

His creations move between wildlife, mythological figures, pop culture and emotionally charged scenes, making his body of work both diverse and immediately identifiable.

Over the years, Alexandre Petrus has built a growing base of collectors across Europe and internationally, drawn to the uniqueness, consistency and strong personality of his work.

Each piece is an original artwork — no prints, no editions — making every Alexandre Petrus painting a truly exclusive acquisition for collectors who want more than decoration: a work with identity, presence and soul.
