BIOGRAPHY
Invader is a French street art and mosaic artist, anonymous but well known, born in France in 1969.
His name Invader, the pseudonym used to keep his identity, comes from the 1978 arcade game Space Invaders.

He defines himself as an AVNI, an Unidentified Living Artist, his face always being masked during his performances.
Since 1996, he installs a series of Space invaders made in mosaics on the walls of major international metropolises.
Invader's approach can be summed up in three points: the meeting between the mosaic and the pixel, the transposition of a video game into reality and a process of invasion on a global scale.
Each of his works is unique. The repertoire of his characters now extends to Star Wars, the Pink Panther or Mega Man. In Hong Kong, his works evoke martial arts where the red and gold tones reflect the traditional Chinese colors of earth and fire.
