 | Invader, an anonymous French street artist is renowned for his pixelated mosaic artworks inspired by the 1978 video game Space Invaders he installs his ceramic tile creations on public walls worldwide, transforming urban spaces into playful, open-air galleries. His iconic pixelated aliens, characters, and objects reflect a blend of retro gaming culture and contemporary street art, often carrying subtle social or political commentary. Invader’s largest work, PA_1432 (2019), a 70m² mosaic, adorns Place Igor-Stravinsky in Paris, near the Centre Pompidou, with smaller pieces scattered nearby. His global “invasion” spans over 80 cities, including London, New York, and Tokyo, with thousands of mosaics documented via his “Space Invaders” app, which gamifies spotting his art. Invader’s anonymity, like Banksy’s, fuels his mystique, though his style is unmistakable.His work, durable yet sometimes removed or stolen, challenges notions of public space and art ownership, cementing his status as a pioneer of urban art.
