Invader | Artist at Mondoir

Invader, born in 1969 in France, is a contemporary street artist known for his mosaic tile works inspired by the pixelated graphics of 1980s video games. He gained prominence in the late 1990s, when he began installing his signature 'Space Invader' mosaics in urban environments around the world, often placing them in locations that reference the games that inspired them. His work is characterized by a playful yet subversive approach to public art, blending nostalgia with contemporary urban culture. Invader's art has expanded beyond street installations to include exhibitions in galleries and museums, where he explores themes of digital culture and its impact on society. He has also developed a mobile app that allows users to track and document his installations. His work has been exhibited in various cities, including Paris, New York, and Los Angeles, and he remains a significant figure in the street art movement, influencing a generation of artists who seek to challenge the boundaries of public space.
