Description from the seller
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
PERSEUS & MEDUSA — GREEK MYTHOLOGY
One of the most dramatic moments in Greek mythology: Perseus, the legendary hero, holding the severed head of Medusa after defeating the fearsome Gorgon.
Inspired by classical sculpture, this composition highlights the strength of Perseus, the intricate details of his winged helmet and the disturbing beauty of Medusa's serpent-covered head.
The intense crimson and deep red background brings a striking sense of drama, while the sharp black and white stencil creates powerful contrasts and emphasizes the sculptural details.
A bold contemporary interpretation of an ancient myth, combining heroic strength, danger and the visual impact of street art. A distinctive piece for collectors drawn to mythology, classical sculpture and powerful historical imagery.
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, historical figures, 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.
