Invader is an anonymous French street artist. Born in 1969, Invader is the pseudonym of a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Using the 1978 arcade game Space Invaders as the subject for an ongoing project, Invader makes images from ceramic tiles.
He began his signature practice in the late 1990s, plastering and gluing mosaic Space Invaders across the streets of Paris. He expanded this to include Pac-Man ghosts and other popular 8-bit characters, and his works now adorn cities around the world, from Los Angeles to Kathmandu.
Invader has exhibited internationally, with shows in Los Angeles, Paris, Brussels, and Hong Kong, among other cities.
