Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
THE BIRD
Perched on a rugged branch, this majestic bird of prey commands attention with its sharp gaze, detailed plumage and calm, watchful posture.
The rich background of deep reds, burgundy and warm terracotta creates a striking contrast with the precise black and white stencil. Every feather is carefully defined, bringing texture, depth and character to the composition.
There is a quiet strength in this scene. No dramatic movement, just the natural presence of a wild creature, alert and completely at home in its surroundings.
A bold yet elegant wildlife artwork, ideal for collectors who appreciate birds, nature and contemporary street art. Its warm palette makes it a striking addition to a modern interior.
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. 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 artworks on ceramic tiles 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 and protect the identity of each series.
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.
