About the Artist
Turenne Chevallereau was a French illustrator active during the vibrant interwar period, a time when graphic design and decorative arts were rapidly evolving in France. His work often reimagined elements from nature into striking, modern motifs, blending playful abstraction with the clarity and accessibility of poster art. Chevallereau’s approach reflects the era’s fascination with bringing the outside world into the home through bold, imaginative design.
For those interested in vintage French wall art, his creations pair well with our abstract prints and the distinctive selections in our selection of twentieth-century imagery.
The Artwork
La Jungle chez moi Pl.05 was created in 1938, at a time when urban living inspired a renewed interest in indoor greenery and exotic themes. This piece captures the spirit of the era, when houseplants and jungle motifs became symbols of modern comfort and escapism. Rather than depicting the wild as something remote, Chevallereau invites viewers to imagine a playful, tranquil jungle within their own homes—a reflection of the desire to balance city life with natural vitality.
The artwork transforms the giraffe into a gentle, almost fantastical presence, embodying a sense of wonder and calm that resonated with contemporary tastes for imaginative, uplifting decor.
Style & Characteristics
The image features a stylized giraffe at its center, surrounded by dense, abstract foliage that forms a rhythmic border. The design is highly graphic, with bold outlines and flat, simplified shapes that emphasize decorative impact. Earthy beige serves as the background, while deep greens dominate the leaves, accented by touches of black and warm orange. This palette creates a whimsical yet sophisticated mood, characteristic of 1930s French poster art.
The composition’s clarity and playful forms make it especially appealing for those exploring animal art with a modern, design-driven sensibility.
In Interior Design
This vintage print makes a striking statement in living rooms, hallways, or creative workspaces, offering a burst of energy without overwhelming the space. Its crisp silhouette and lush framing ensure it stands out, whether displayed alone or as part of a gallery wall.
It pairs beautifully with natural materials like wood, rattan, and linen, or can be contrasted with black metal accents for a contemporary look. The harmonious palette complements green-toned decor, warm neutrals, and terracotta accents.
