sheet size approx. 86.4 × 61 cm, composition approx. 75.3 × 52 cm

Invader is a French artist working anonymously, born in 1969, and one of the most important figures in international street art. Since 1998, he has been working on the Space Invaders project, placing mosaics in urban spaces inspired by the pixelated aesthetic of the video game Space Invaders and 8-bit culture. He describes himself as “UFA—Unidentified Free Artist” and consistently protects his identity.
His “invasions” have spread to dozens of cities around the world; according to Christie’s, the artist has created over 4,000 installations in more than 80 cities. In addition to ceramic mosaics, he creates prints, Rubik’s Cube sculptures, drawings, and three-dimensional works. His works are featured in the catalogs of the world’s leading auction houses, and Invader is now one of the most recognizable artists to emerge from the street art scene.
The work has no documented provenance,
therefore it is being sold as an attr (attribute, attributed, in the style of)
