Rare piece of street art by the French artist Invader, titled Black Sunset Tile. This work in tile format preserves the artist's iconic aesthetic, inspired by the world of 8-bit video games and pixel art culture.

The composition features a white pixelated character with red eyes, placed at the center of a black and gray geometric backdrop evoking an abstract landscape, a sunset, or a cosmic scene. The contrast between the white of the character, its red eyes, and the dark background gives the piece a particularly strong graphic presence.

The work is made on a ceramic plate or rigid textured material, with a relief print giving the motif a tactile and authentic look. It is presented in its original black case, with its dedicated packaging and presentation, which enhances its appeal for collectors.
The piece is clearly identified as a limited edition of 1,000 copies.

Invader is one of the best-known street artists in the world while... perfectly anonymous!

His name Invader, the pseudonym used to keep his identity, comes from the 1978 arcade game Space Invaders.

He defines himself as an AVNI, an Anonymous Living Artist, his face always masked during his performances.

With a unique style, the artist has become known for “invading,” in his own words, the cities of his creations: it’s the Space Invader project that consists of “invading” the urban space with space invaders, mosaics drawing on the 8-bit aesthetic, that of the first video games with ultra-pixelated digital characters.

Invader’s approach can be summarized in three points: the meeting of mosaic and pixel, the transposition of a video game into reality, and a process of invasion on a planetary scale.

To urban aliens, whose number is constantly evolving, we must add the “Aliases,” the double unique of a mosaic in situ that can be seen in galleries, in museums, or with a few lucky collectors. Destined for the art market, the “Aliases” are made on plexiglass panels and host an identity card with metadata about the mosaic in situ: registration number and photo of the source mosaic, installation date and chronological number, address, size, score, etc. Invader records everything!
Each of his works is unique. His repertoire of characters now extends to Star Wars, The Pink Panther, or Mega Man. In Hong Kong, his works evoke martial arts where red and gold tones reflect the traditional Chinese colors of earth and fire.
Invader is part of the same artistic movement as his friends Banksy, Shepard Fairey, aka Obey, and Banksy, or artists like JonOne, Kaws, Seen, JR, M.Chat, Imbue, Pantone, Arsham, Keith Haring, Koons, Cattelan, Murakami, Stik, and many others.
