Urban Canvases: French street artist Invader Exploring the Global Street Art Movement.Paris,France.

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.

ASP 02 S9 TransArtSpots is a non-profit and 100% community-driven project. We run it because we love to discover art and share it with others. The app does not contain any ads and we do not get money from this project at all. That's why we ask for your help! 

Wanna help spread the word about the App?

It would be great if you can tell your friends about ArtSpots, or if you run a website or blog, share the news and post a page. If you are active on social media, please also spread the word among your friends - art needs a space without commerce and it should be us, who count, not money and some shareholders. Thank you!

If you need pictures and stuff, here is the download to a media package, containing screens of the app, the image teaser and a short description you can freely use.

See you in ArtSpots.
