For the inauguration of Wunderkammern Gallery in 2010, Invader was invited to present his solo exhibition Roma 2010 & Other. On this occasion, he carried out a major invasion of the Italian capital, installing dozens of mosaics throughout Rome — from the historic center to the Trastevere district.
This Rome invasion map, published in a limited edition of 1,000 copies, documents that campaign, one of the most emblematic of his European projects.

Born in 1969, Invader is now certainly considered, alongside Banksy, one of the most famous street artists in the world. It all began in the late 1990s when the Parisian artist decided to install his first mosaic in the streets, referencing the 1980s arcade game Space Invaders. To date, he has installed over 4000 of these mosaics, more than 1500 of which are in Paris. The Flash Invader app, created in 2014, has given him access to an enormous international audience, now boasting nearly 30 million flashes to date.
His work extends across prints, invasion kits, aliases, works made from Rubik’s Cubes, and other pieces and objects that play with pixels and reflect broader popular culture. His fan base is extensive; they are the ones who eagerly buy every book and product the artist regularly releases, as demonstrated by the major retrospective exhibition held in Paris in 2024.
With several auction records, including a piece that sold for over a million euros in 2015, his works are highly valuable today, and collectors compete to acquire their desired pieces. Invader remains a cornerstone of French urban art, regardless of the work or object.
