Invasion (Red)

INVADER | Invasion (Blue) | Mixed Media, 2009 — available on Composition Gallery

Two colour screenprint plus two colour foils. Embossed design on 310gsm paper. Hand-signed, numbered, and dated.// Invasion (Blue) represents a luxurious synthesis of Invader's pixelated aesthetic with premium printmaking techniques, a work that celebrates the video-game-inspired iconography that has defined the artist's global street practice through the prism of fine art production. The iconic Space Invader character — that eight-bit nemesis of 1980s arcade culture — is rendered in an expanded palette of cool blues and whites, creating an almost oceanic or crystalline atmosphere that softens the character's digital hardness while preserving its essential geometric clarity. The composition is executed as a two-colour screenprint with the addition of two luxurious metallic foil accents that catch and reflect gallery light, conferring upon the work the sumptuous materially of precious objects. The embossed design adds tactile dimensionality to what is fundamentally a graphic composition, inviting the viewer to engage with the surface through touch as well as vision. Invader's practice is rooted in the democratisation of street art — his Space Invader motifs have been installed in cities worldwide, creating an vast network of amateur archaeology and urban discovery — yet this fine art edition maintains the visual accessibility of the street work whilst introducing material and technical sophistication that appeals to collectors seeking substantive artistic intervention. The cool blue tonality, with its associations of digital space and virtual worlds, makes this edition a companion piece to its fiery red variant. Among the most desirable of Invader's printed output, this edition of 50 exemplifies the artist's ability to translate video-game iconography into legitimate fine art without compromising either the populist spirit of the source material or the material excellence of the finished object.

What is Street art?

Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
