Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The Laocoön Group — one of the most influential sculptures of antiquity, unearthed in Rome in 1506 and immediately recognized as a masterpiece by Michelangelo himself. The Trojan priest and his two sons caught in the coils of serpents sent by the gods, frozen forever in the agony of their final struggle. A foundational image of Western art, the source of countless studies on human pain, movement, and dramatic composition. Painted in cool greys with hints of lavender and ice blue, the palette gives the marble a contemporary, almost ghostly presence. A statement piece for collectors drawn to classical heritage, mythology, and the absolute summit of ancient sculpture.
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.

Seller's Story
French stencil artist, I offer here original works entirely handmade.
Each painting is created on canvas using stencils that I draw and cut out myself, then reinterpreted on unique and spontaneous backgrounds.
My work draws inspiration from pop culture, mythological figures, artistic icons, and contemporary characters, with an aesthetic blending street art and contemporary art.
All artworks for sale are unique pieces (no editions, no reproductions), signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
I ship each work with the utmost care, in a secure and tracked package, to France and internationally.
