One of the many artists we have looked at is Invader, a French street artist born in 1969 he pastes up characters from and inspired by the Space Invaders game, made up of small coloured square tiles that form a mosaic. He does this in cities across the world, then documents this as an "Invasion", with books and maps of where to find each invader.
One of the more prominent places where the mosaics have been installed is on the Hollywood Sign. The first was placed on the letter D on December 31, 1999. During further trips to Los Angeles, Invader has placed mosaics on the 8 other letters of the sign.
Invader also works on another project that he titles "Rubikcubism", which consists making artworks made of Rubik's Cubes. Invader has had solo exhibitions at art galleries in Paris, Osaka, Melbourne, Los Angeles, New York City, and London.
His work is made through simple shapes yet he does them with a lot of detail ( mainly with toning and positioning). Some of his work in public players around europe.
Invader's represented Space Invaders characters are all very simplistic and are basicly just a few coloured squares with a coloured background, his work my not seem to inpressive at first but his real 'art' is his portraits of people done with a few simple primary colours and squares.
