Alexandre Petrus (1988) - DIONYSOS

Alexandre Petrus (1988) - DIONYSOS

ABOUT THE ARTWORK DIONYSOS Dionysos appears here in a strong, instantly readable composition: the god of wine, celebration and excess, crowned with grapes and holding the fruit like a trophy. The pastel background softens the scene, while the sharp stencil keeps the figure powerful and precise. It is a luminous take on a timeless figure — classical at first glance, but clearly rooted in a contemporary street art language. A vibrant piece for collectors drawn to mythology, iconic faces and artworks with real presence. 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, 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. His street art roots also live through POPCHIPS, a project in which he places small original paintings in urban spaces, creating unexpected encounters between art and passers-by. Each artwork is a unique original. No prints, no identical editions: every background is painted individually and spontaneously on the canvas, making each piece different. 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, protect the identity of each series, and avoid diluting the value of the work. 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. FOLLOW ME Instagram: @alexandrepetrus.art Website: www.ap-art.fr
