Informations sur l’œuvre :
Invader is one of the most emblematic and recognizable figures of contemporary urban art. An elusive artist, he defines himself as an Unidentified Free Artist (UFA), claiming anonymity as a founding principle of his practice. Masked, pixelated, deliberately off-frame, his pseudonym reflects his artistic project: to invade public space with art.
Since the late 1990s, Invader has transpose the digital universe into the physical world through his famous mosaics inspired by 1980s video games, notably Space Invaders. These pixelated figures, immediately legible, form a universal visual language, accessible to everyone, that dissolves the boundaries between popular culture, contemporary art, and urban space. Far from a mere playful gesture, this aesthetics questions our relationship to images, to technology, and to collective memory.
What began in 1998 with the installation of a first mosaic on a Parisian wall quickly became a worldwide project. To date, over 4,000 works have been disseminated in dozens of cities around the world, transforming the act of art into a planetary cartography. This approach takes on a strong symbolic dimension when one of his works becomes the first artwork to be exhibited in space, integrated into the International Space Station.
Alongside his activity in public space, Invader has progressively ventured into the institutional field. He has presented solo exhibitions in major galleries and institutions, from Paris to Osaka, never renouncing his street-rooted identity. This dual presence — in the street and in dedicated spaces — constitutes one of the foundations of his uniqueness.
His work also extends to new media, notably with the Rubikcubism series, in which he composes paintings-sculptures from Rubik’s Cubes. Faithful to his pixelated vocabulary, this series continues his reflection on digital imagery, color, and materiality, while situating his work within a contemporary tradition of sculpture and assemblage.
