Meaning & Analysis

One of the artist’s more figurative works, Kung Fu depicts a Kung Fu player swinging their leg, set against a backdrop of repeated miniature red space invader characters. Retro and pixelated, the style is immediately identifiable as that of Invader. The pixels constituting the subject’s figure and clothing are inspired by retro video games’ 8-bit graphics.

  • 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.
