Description from the seller

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

SPREAD THE LOVE

Sometimes, the simplest message is the one we need most.

A young street artist stands on a stepladder, covering a wall with one word: LOVE. Repeated in bright orange, pink, turquoise and green, the message becomes impossible to ignore.

The intense red background, layered with spontaneous textures and colorful graffiti, gives the composition a vibrant, joyful energy. The small child adds a touch of innocence to a scene rooted in urban street art.

A bold and uplifting artwork about sharing love without limits. A colorful statement piece that brings warmth, positivity and personality into any living space.

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, 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, Venelles). 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 inspired by childhood. Whatever the theme, the signature remains: precise stencil work, instinctive backgrounds and the small smiling "AP" monogram — Alexandre's two initials fused into a face — sprayed on every original piece.

His street art roots also live through POPCHIPS, an independent urban art project. Alexandre creates small original paintings and places them in urban spaces during his travels, creating unexpected encounters between art and passers-by. This spontaneous approach connects his studio practice to the streets.

Each painting is a unique, hand-painted original. The same stencil design may be used in other original paintings, but every background and colour composition is individually created. Each hand-cut stencil is strictly limited to a maximum of 50 original artworks. Once that limit is reached, the stencil is permanently retired. A deliberate choice to preserve scarcity, protect the identity of each series and avoid diluting the value of the work.

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.

Shipping via Colissimo or Chronopost (selected at checkout), tracked and insured. Dispatch within 3 working days after payment confirmation. Worldwide shipping available.

Seller's Story

French stencil artist, I present here original works entirely handmade. Each piece is created on canvas using stencils that I design and cut myself, then reinterpreted on unique and spontaneous backgrounds. My work is inspired by pop culture, mythological figures, artistic icons and contemporary characters, with an aesthetic blending street art and contemporary art. All works for sale are unique pieces (no edition, no reproduction), signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. I ship each work with the utmost care, in secure and tracked packaging, to France and internationally.
