Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Michelangelo's David — five centuries later, still the absolute reference for human form, balance, and quiet defiance. The young king before the fight, sling on his shoulder, gaze fixed on Goliath. A figure that carries the entire Renaissance and still speaks to anyone who values strength held in restraint. The textured background — bronze, pink, blue — pulls the marble into the present, where street art meets classical heritage. A statement piece for collectors who want history on their wall, reframed for today.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus has built one of the most distinctive signatures in contemporary stencil art: the hand-cut double-layer stencil. Two stencils — one for shadow, one for light — laid over a freely painted abstract background. The technique is precise, the execution is instinctive, and no two artworks are ever the same.
Over 450 originals collected in more than 10 countries. Live painting commissions for Disneyland Paris and major corporate clients. Featured in French street art festivals (Grimaud, Perpignan, Venelle) and currently exhibited at Galerie Spot 72 in Le Mans.
Alexandre Petrus is at the turning point where artists shift from emerging to established — and the value of his work is following the same curve.
Each piece is signed front and back, varnished, delivered with a certificate of authenticity, and marked with the "AP" monogram — his two initials fused into a smiling face. Every stencil he cuts by hand is retired after a small series, never mass-produced, never repeated indefinitely — a deliberate choice that keeps each piece scarce and protects its value. A signature that says everything about his approach: precise, joyful, and never repeated twice.
SHIPPING
The artwork is carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and protective plastic film, then secured in a custom-sized cardboard box for safe international transit. The signed certificate of authenticity is included inside the package.
Dispatch within 3 working days after payment confirmation. Worldwide shipping available.
