ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Young Goku” captures the raw energy, innocence and determination of one of the most iconic characters of Japanese pop culture.

Depicted in motion, mid-action, the composition radiates intensity. The dynamic posture, the clenched fist, the focused gaze — everything in this piece evokes movement, courage and the fearless spirit that defines Goku from his earliest moments.

The vibrant red background amplifies this energy. Built through an instinctive layering of textures and gestures, it creates a powerful visual contrast with the sharp stencil work. The explosion of warm tones feels almost like an aura — a surge of power surrounding the character, reinforcing the sensation of action and momentum.

The stencil technique allows for a highly detailed rendering while maintaining a strong graphic impact. Each cut defines volume, muscle tension and expression with precision, giving the figure both depth and clarity. The balance between black, white and red creates a striking, almost cinematic presence.

Beyond nostalgia, this piece speaks to something universal — the idea of growth, resilience and pushing beyond limits. It reconnects the viewer with that childlike drive to move forward, to fight, to evolve.
“Young Goku” is not just a tribute. It is a symbol of energy, ambition and the fearless mindset of youth.

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.
