French artist Invader stages art “invasions” in cities around the world. He installs pixelated pieces inspired by 8-bit arcade video game characters on the walls of buildings in busy urban areas. Many of these mosaics depict the iconic aliens from the 1978 game Space Invaders, but Invader also uses characters from games like Super Mario Bros. and Pac-Man. He describes his work as contemporary street art. Though known for his public art, Invader also makes smaller-scale abstract prints and tile kits.
The real name of the man behind the Invader persona is purported to be Franck Slama. However, he keeps his identity private and his face a secret, wearing a mask in public and working under the cloak of night. Invader told The Talks magazine that not even his parents know about his life as a mosaicist — they think he works in the construction industry as a tiler.
Born in Paris in 1969, Invader grew up playing the ‘70s and ‘80s video games he now emulates in tile. He went on to graduate from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He is believed to have begun tagging the streets of his native city with urban artist Zevs at the end of the 1990s. In 1998, he branched out on his own with the “Space Invaders” project.
Invader chose 8-bit characters as the subject of his work because he sees them as the icons of our digital world. He seeks not only to free the characters from their video games but also to liberate art itself from museums and institutions. Each "invasion" begins by scouting the city and finding the perfect spots for anywhere from 20 to 50 of his installations. Invader's creations have appeared in 79 cities in 20 different countries.
While committed to bringing art to the streets, Invader has shown his street art at museums and galleries around the globe. His solo exhibitions include Almine Rech Gallery in Paris, Citylights Gallery in Melbourne, Lazarides Gallery in London, PMQ in Hong Kong and Mima Museum in Brussels. His work is also immensely popular at art auctions and sells for tens of thousands of dollars.

Floral Portrait with Tulip on Green Background - 25 Limited Edition Dibond Print
By Natasha Lelenco
Located in FISTERRA, ES
"Floral Portrait with Tulip on Green Background" is an original limited edition high-quality Dibond direct UV Print of the Natasha Lelenco`s artwork titled "Scatsong". This piece, like the entire "Fetishes" series, is inspired by the idea of biophilia and the belief that, according to the artist, humanity must be repositioned as just one part of nature rather than its center. Based on Natasha Lelenco's original acrylic on canvas artwork created in 2021, each print, numbered 25 of 25, captures a vibrant fusion of floral elements and anthropomorphic forms. The result is a visually striking and emotionally resonant piece. It is worth noting that the original artwork from which this limited edition print is derived is still available and can be purchased on 1stdibs. Lelenco has subtly hand-finished each print, sometimes adding small details or enhancing the background colors. The prints are varnished, signed, and numbered on the back, and come ready to hang with a simple system that gives the impression of the artwork floating on the wall. Customers also have the option to frame it if they prefer. The artwork presents a striking silhouette composed of lush green leaves, a pink tulip, and other floral elements, set against a vivid green background. This combination of vibrant colors and intricate details showcases Lelenco's talent for transforming natural elements into extraordinary compositions, inviting viewers to explore the deeper connections between nature and human identity. The high-quality Dibond direct UV Print, finished and varnished by the artist herself, ensures durability and color quality, making this piece a lasting and valuable addition to any art collection. This edition is part of the "Fetiches" series, created by Lelenco since 2021, designed to work individually or as part of multiple panels with other pieces from the same series. Natasha Lelenco's "Fetiches" series blends portraiture and anthropomorphic forms through a meticulous accumulation of elements. These components intertwine with nuanced thematic exploration, touching upon both kitsch and popular iconography, while delving into the inseparable connection between humanity and the broader living community. Drawing from her personal biography, Lelenco constructs a dialogue between memory and imagery. Through a skillful process, she resurrects fragments of her past to craft fresh narratives that challenge conventional perceptions of existence. This narrative depth, coupled with psychological complexity, echoes classical influences, seamlessly bridging the gap between Renaissance portraiture and contemporary expression. Notably, Lelenco's "Fetiches" series reflects the artistic echoes of Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
