ABOUT THE ARTWORK
With “Le Fennec”, I chose to highlight one of the most iconic animals of desert environments — a symbol of adaptation, alertness and resilience.
The composition is centered on the gaze and posture of the animal. Slightly turned, attentive, the fennec appears both fragile and extremely aware of its surroundings. Its oversized ears — a defining characteristic — are emphasized to reinforce this idea of heightened perception and survival instinct.
The warm, earthy tones of the background evoke the mineral and arid landscapes of its natural habitat. The textures are built instinctively, creating a raw and organic surface that contrasts with the precision of the stencil work. This dialogue between controlled detail and spontaneous matter is at the core of my process.
The stencil itself is entirely hand-cut, line by line. The layering of black and white shapes allows me to sculpt the volume of the fur and bring the animal to life through contrast. Every cut contributes to the rhythm and movement within the piece.
Beyond the aesthetic, this work is also part of a broader reflection in my practice: representing animals as a way to keep them present, visible, and valued in a world where their natural environments are increasingly under pressure.
“Le Fennec” embodies both delicacy and strength — a quiet presence carrying a powerful message.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Alexandre Petrus is a French stencil artist known for his distinctive visual language, combining the raw energy of street art with the precision of hand-crafted technique.
Working exclusively with hand-cut stencils, he has developed a recognizable and refined signature style, where every line is carefully designed and manually executed. His work stands at the intersection of digital creation, traditional craftsmanship and contemporary urban art.
What defines his approach is a unique balance between control and spontaneity. While the subject is meticulously constructed through layered stencil work, the background is created instinctively, making each piece truly one of a kind. This philosophy — which he defines as “originality in repetition” — ensures that no artwork is ever reproduced or duplicated.
His creations explore a wide range of themes, from wildlife and human emotion to pop culture and classical reinterpretations, allowing his work to resonate with a broad international audience.
Over the years, Alexandre Petrus has built a growing base of collectors across Europe and internationally, attracted by the uniqueness, consistency and strong identity of his work.
Each artwork is an original piece — no prints, no editions — making every acquisition a unique and exclusive addition to a collection.
