Meaning & Analysis

The alien character depicted in Warning is a character from the popular arcade game, Space Invaders, produced by Japanese game manufacturer Taito in 1978. The arcade game has inspired many of Invader’s artworks and even prompted the artist to launch an elaborate street art project, the Space Invaders project, which involved him travelling all over the world to decorate cities with mosaics of aliens. Discussing why he chose these particular alien characters to be the recurring visual motif that runs throughout his work, Invader explains: ‘In my own eyes, they are the perfect icons of our time, a time where digital technologies are the heartbeat of our world’.

The road sign is humorous as it seems to contain an intertextual reference to Invader’s installation project which propelled Invader’s artistic career and turned him into an international street art icon. Warning also captures how Invader’s artistic style is characterised by his playful nature, love of games and wit.

  • 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.
