Stew (1978) - Grande toile au pochoir (œuvre originale)

The Paris gallery CHENUS LONGHI presents "Spring", an original work by Stew created in 2019 with stenciling and acrylic on canvas, 80 × 60 cm, from his personal archives.
A figure of the Paris urban scene for more than twenty years, Stew has made birds one of the emblematic subjects of his work, as shown by his murals as well as his life-size interventions.
On this canvas, the precision of the stencil gives full force to the bird’s movement, while the layering of motifs and the intensity of reds and oranges reveal the influence of Japanese aesthetics. A particularly rich composition, representative of the artist’s exploration of nature, color and movement.

About the artist:
Born in 1978, STEW discovered graffiti in 1996 before studying applied arts in Belgium. Trained as a graphic designer, he began practicing stencil in the 2000s under the influence of C215. Deeply influenced by Japanese aesthetics, notably Hokusai and Hiroshige prints, he developed a distinctive graphic handwriting. Birds, plants and graphic motifs fill the walls, up to monumental frescoes, such as his famous Blue Heron, created in 2014 in Paris’s 13th arrondissement. In 2025, he publishes "À vol d’oiseau", a magnificent work devoted to his trajectory and to his birds, which have become one of the signatures of his oeuvre.
Stew sits within the street art movement, alongside artists such as Vhils, Invader, Shepard Fairey, JonOne, Kaws, Futura.
