Meaning & Analysis

The central character of the composition, the Space Invader, is taken from the Japanese Taito video game Space Invaders, which Invader quotes repeatedly in his large scale invasion project. Regarding his choice of using Space Invaders, the artist once claimed: "They are the perfect icons of our time, a time where digital technologies are the heartbeat of our world. As these creatures are made of pixels, they are in some sorts ready-made for tile reproduction.”

Invader’s appropriation of these characters began in the 1990s and has since taken the world literally by surprise through Invader’s anonymous and unpredictable Invasion waves. The artist has now become emblematic of Street Art, and the public dissemination of his works across cities has turned into a real-life treasure hunt.

Through these Invasion Kits, Invader offers the chance to his most avid collectors to purchase a Space Invader, a generous gift for any fan, ever since the first public Invasion Wave, has longed to privately own his witty and funny ceramic works.

  • 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.
