In 2007, Invader was invited to exhibit at the Espace de l’Art Concret in Mouans-Sartoux for the group show “On fait le mur”. On this occasion, he scattered 40 mosaics across 24 cities along the French Riviera, marking his “invasion” of the Côte d’Azur. This map was produced following the event and documents the spread of his iconic pixelated characters from Monaco to Nice, Cannes, and Antibes.
Unfolded dimensions: 26 x 65 cm
This map has never been unfolded and has been carefully stored flat, in darkness, all these years.
It is therefore in excellent condition 9/10.
The invasion map you are purchasing is indeed the one you see in our photos.
Last photos: the catalogue raisonné Prints on Paper featuring the unfolded map.
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 produce 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.
