Invader – Rubik Shot Red Marilyn, 2023

Description

In the late 1990s, the anonymous French artist Invader began cementing and gluing ceramic mosaic Space Invaders, pixelated characters from the 1978 video game of the same name, across the streets of Paris. He later expanded his roster to include Pac-Man ghosts and other popular 8-bit figures, and his mosaics now appear in cities around the world, from Los Angeles to Kathmandu. In addition to these clandestine street installations, Invader has produced mosaics on Perspex panels, plywood, and book covers. He has also created paintings, drawings, and screen prints in his recognisable pixelated style.
