Meaning & Analysis

The alien depicted in this print is a character from the popular arcade game, Space Invaders. The game was created by Japanese game manufacturer Taito in 1978 and has had a profound influence on Invader and his artistic career. Invader often depicts aliens in his artworks, from prints to ceramics and mosaic installations. The artist is arguably best known for his elaborate installation project, the Space Invaders project, which he started in 1998. The project involves Invader travelling all over the world with the aim of ‘invading’ cities by installing mosaics of aliens from Space Invaders onto the walls of the city.

Invader explains that he wants to free the alien characters from their video games TV screens and bring them into the physical world. The artist sees his artworks as a means of doing this.

  • 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.
