Alexandre Petrus (1988) presents LE GECKO, a 2026 original mixed‑media street art piece on canvas (55 × 46 cm) signed by hand, depicting wildlife, produced in France by the artist directly, with no edition and a unique hand‑painted background.
Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Le Gecko is a refined wildlife piece built around instinct, adaptability, and quiet presence.
Perched on a branch and framed by foliage, the gecko appears both alert and perfectly at home in its environment.
The soft blue background, touched with warmer tones, gives the artwork a luminous balance that highlights the precision of the stencil work.
A calm but striking piece for collectors drawn to nature, detail, and the subtle strength of the living world.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist with a strong and instantly recognizable visual identity. His signature technique — the hand-cut double-layer stencil — separates light and shadow into two distinct stencils, layered onto a spontaneous, hand-painted abstract background. The result: a sharp, iconic figure rising from a vibrant, textured chaos of color.
To date, 450+ artworks sold in 10+ countries have found their way into private collections, from France and Spain to the Netherlands, Germany, the UAE, and the US. He has performed live painting for major French institutions including Disneyland Paris, created large-scale murals for corporate headquarters, and exhibited in several French street art festivals (Grimaud, Perpignan, Venelle). His work is currently shown at Galerie Spot 72 in Le Mans.
His subjects move between mythology, pop culture icons, wildlife and emotionally charged scenes. Whatever the theme, the signature remains: precise stencil work, instinctive background, and the small smiling "AP" monogram — Alexandre's two initials fused into a face — sprayed on every original piece.
Each artwork is a unique original. No prints, no editions — every background is painted live on the canvas, so no two pieces are ever the same. And every stencil Alexandre cuts by hand is retired after a small series, never mass-produced, never repeated indefinitely. A genuine acquisition for collectors looking for identity, presence, and a strong contemporary signature that stays scarce.
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.
