Meaning & Analysis

When looked at closely it is apparent that some of Invader’s famous alien characters are hiding amongst the chaotic composition of black squares. This print awards close attention as the alien characters can be easily missed and overshadowed by the patterns that surround them. The aliens depicted in the print are inspired by the popular arcade game, Space Invaders, which was produced by Japanese game manufacturer Taito in 1978.

Space Invaders has had a profound impact on Invader’s artistic career. Invader has made a variety of prints inspired by Space Invaders and depicting various characters from the game. Invader has also produced thousands of mosaics of aliens which can be spotted all over the world in bustling cities from Rome to Sao Paulo. Invader is arguably best known for this installation project, the Space Invaders project which he started in 1998 and involves the artist travelling all over the world to adorn the streets of the cities he visits with mosaics of aliens.

  • Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.
