Artist’s Biography Born in Paris in 1969, the street artist Invader is known for his mosaic works that, recalling the characters of the well-known videogame Space Invaders, have invaded cities all over the world. He studied in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts and he works incognito, largely at night and often masked. He is the cousin of the street artist Mr. Brainwash (Thierry Guetta) and he was included in the 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop, directed by Banksy and starring Mr. Brainwash alongside urban artists such as Shepard Fairey (Obey) and Banksy himself. Invader, artist with an unmistakable style, began his career in the world of street art in the 1990s with the first mosaic installed in Paris in 1998. In the following years he extended the range of his work and "invaded" 31 other French cities before starting to work outside of France, such as in New York, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Tokyo. Today there are more than 60 cities in which his works are visible and in Italy we can admire the invasions of Rome and Ravenna. Invader has held solo exhibitions in art galleries in Paris, Osaka, Melbourne, Los Angeles, New York, London and Rome. He has exhibited at the 6th Lyon Contemporary Art Biennale (2001), the Borusan Center for Culture and Arts in Istanbul (2003), the MOCA in Los Angeles (2011) and the Urban Nation Museum in Berlin (2017).
