ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The silverback — head slightly tilted, eyes calm, the kind of stare that doesn't need to prove anything. One of the most powerful animals on the planet, and one of the most peaceful when left alone. The whole portrait built on that contrast: brute strength carried with restraint. Painted in lavender and mint green, the palette breaks the expected wildlife codes and gives the gorilla a contemporary, almost meditative aura. A piece for collectors drawn to wildlife with quiet authority — and to portraits that say more with a look than most do with a roar.
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, more than 450 of his original artworks have found their way into private collections across 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, Venelle). 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 background, and the small smiling "AP" monogram — Alexandre's two initials fused into a face — sprayed on every original piece.
Each artwork is a unique original. No prints, no editions — every background is painted live on the canvas, so no two pieces are ever the same. And every stencil Alexandre cuts by hand is retired after a small series, never mass-produced, never repeated indefinitely. A genuine acquisition for collectors looking for identity, presence, and a strong contemporary signature that stays scarce.
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.
