Meaning & Analysis

Available also in black, this signed print was produced in conjunction with Invader’s largest solo exhibition, Into The White Cube, held at Over the Influence in Los Angeles. For the exhibition, which offered a retrospective of Invader’s practice of over two decades, Invader decided to produce an entirely new array of his world-famous pixelated images, which he then made available to purchase as prints.

Here, Invader evokes the incredible flair of the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. While this is the first time Invader references the French city within an exhibition, Invader’s love for Versailles, and all that it represents in art history, is epitomised by the multiple and repeated waves of invasion the artist enacted: at the moment, the city holds more than 42 public artworks and has been invaded over twelve times.

Thus, even if exhibited in the United States, these mirrors cross and overcome geographical boundaries and distances to stage a dialogue between Invader’s public project of Invasion of Versailles and his more private and commercially available practice. The print thus speaks to Invader’s desire to engage with urban and art historical landmarks, thus placing his artworks within a broader art historical genealogy.

  • 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.
