ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Le Gorille” is a powerful tribute to one of the most emblematic figures of the animal kingdom.
This artwork captures the quiet force, dignity and presence of the gorilla through a bold and refined stencil composition. More than a simple animal portrait, the piece conveys a deep sense of wisdom, calm authority and primal strength. The gorilla’s gaze gives the work an immediate emotional impact, inviting the viewer into a silent yet intense confrontation.

Often associated with protection, intelligence and inner power, the gorilla becomes here a symbol of both vulnerability and majesty. Alexandre Petrus translates these qualities through a carefully hand-cut composition, where every detail of the fur and expression is balanced by the strength of contrast and the purity of the lines.

The vibrant blue background enhances the subject’s presence and gives the piece a striking visual depth. It creates a contemporary atmosphere while reinforcing the noble and timeless nature of the animal. The textured surface, built instinctively, contrasts beautifully with the precision of the stencil, bringing the work to life with both spontaneity and control.

“Le Gorille” is a captivating and character-filled artwork — a strong statement piece for collectors drawn to wildlife, raw emotion and contemporary urban aesthetics.
