Alexandre Petrus (1988) - DON'T FOLLOW THE CROWD

ABOUT THE ARTWORK DON'T FOLLOW THE CROWD A child on a stepladder paints a simple message with a strong attitude: go your own way. The reversed arrow says it all. This piece is direct, playful and instantly readable, with a soft blue-and-pink background that keeps the energy luminous and fresh. It speaks about independence, instinct and the courage to think for yourself — a message that works just as well in a home, office or creative space. A joyful statement piece with real personality. 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, Venelles). 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 artworks: 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.
