About the Artist
Turenne Chevallereau was an illustrator active in late 1930s France, known for blending the decorative flair of Art Deco with a modern sensibility. His work often translated the vitality of the natural world into bold, ornamental compositions, reflecting the era’s fascination with exotic motifs and graphic design. Chevallereau’s illustrations were part of a broader movement that sought to bring art and nature into everyday interiors in imaginative ways.
Rather than presenting animals in a purely scientific manner, Chevallereau reimagined them as dynamic design elements, suitable for stylish home decor. For more wildlife-inspired pieces, explore our animals collection or discover additional graphic works in the green collection.
The Artwork
La Jungle chez moi Pl.04 was created during a period when tropical and jungle themes were highly fashionable in European decorative arts. The 1938 portfolio responded to a growing desire among city dwellers to evoke distant, exotic landscapes within their homes, offering a controlled sense of adventure and escape. This piece was intended as a decorative plate, merging the allure of the wild with the orderliness of modern design, and reflects the interwar appetite for bold, conversation-starting art.
By transforming the jungle into a graphic motif, Chevallereau’s work embodies the spirit of the era—bridging nature and modernity while inviting viewers to imagine the exotic within their own domestic spaces.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features geometric animal silhouettes—such as a panther and birds—set amidst dense, stylized foliage. The use of crisp black outlines, simplified forms, and rhythmic leaf patterns creates a striking visual structure. The limited palette of deep black, rich green, and warm beige enhances the clarity and impact of the design, making it easily legible from a distance.
This ornamental approach, characteristic of late Art Deco, gives the piece a confident, urbane mood. The artwork’s graphic rhythm and bold contrasts make it especially appealing to collectors who appreciate vintage prints with a modern edge.
In Interior Design
This jungle-themed poster serves as a vibrant focal point in living rooms, hallways, or creative workspaces, especially where a touch of nature is desired without traditional softness. It pairs beautifully with wood, rattan, brass accents, and streamlined modern furniture.
Consider displaying it within a gallery wall of graphic works or letting it stand alone in a simple frame from our frames collection. Its geometry also complements interiors inspired by Bauhaus graphics, balancing organic motifs with clean lines.
