Meaning & Analysis

The alien depicted in the print is a character from the popular arcade game, Space Invaders, which was made by Japanese game manufacturer Taito in 1978. The game had a profound impact on Invader and even inspired the artist’s pseudonym. As well as making prints of aliens, Invader launched an elaborate installation project, the Space Invaders project, which involved him travelling to cities all over the world to install mosaics of aliens onto the walls of the cities he visited. Invader started the project in 1998 and has travelled to over 30 countries. The project has come to be recognised as one of the most impressive street art stunts in art history.

Discussing why he makes art out of the characters from video games, Invader explains that he wants to free these characters from TV screens and bring them into our real, physical world. Invader’s prints and mosaics give a material appearance to previously pixelated graphic images, demonstrating how the artist fuses the technological and material world in his artworks.

  • 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.
