Meaning & Analysis

The inspiration for Invader’s Space Invader character is drawn directly from an 80s video game, similarly entitled Space Invaders. The game’s retro, pixelated and low-resolution visuals form the basis of Invader’s own iconic artistic style. First rising to fame in the 90s, Invader became known after he graffitied these video game characters onto buildings around Paris, later venturing abroad.

The video game Space Invaders was originally designed in Japan by Tomohiro Nishikado. Additionally, the background of Sunset (gold and blue) evidently draws inspiration from Japan’s Rising Sun Flag, which is composed of a red sun in the centre, and red and white rays spanning out from the centre. This traditional Japanese flag influenced the composition of Invader’s background here. Enraptured by the video game in his youth, Invader was similarly captivated by Japanese culture, as Japanese imagery and objects frequently appear across his artistic output.

  • 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.
