Meaning & Analysis

In this print, Astro Boy’s full body is captured at the bottom-right of the composition. Invader draws two other iterations of Astro Boy, one which captures just his head, and another which captures his head and torso. By producing these different versions of the character, Invader draws attention towards his creative process and the way in which he approaches his drawings and the stages involved in their composition.

While Invader is a critically acclaimed artist, his true identity is unknown. Invader calls himself an ‘Unidentified Free Artist’ and tries to preserve his anonymity, like British street artist Banksy. Discussing the reason behind this, Invader explains, in part, it is because it means 'I can visit my own exhibitions without any visitors knowing who I really am even if I stand a few steps away from them’.

  • Anonymous street artist Invader adopted his pseudonym from the 1978 arcade game, Space Invaders, and has continually paid homage to retro, 8-bit video games throughout his career. His work has evolved from the original Space Invader motif since the early 2000s, with other icons such as Pac-Man, Pink Panther and even the Rubik’s Cube becoming staples in his imagery. Invading urban landscapes with his distinctive pixelated mosaic creations, Invader transcends the boundaries of traditional street art by combining playful nostalgia with an urban twist. His unique fusion of retro aesthetics and contemporary commentary has solidified his place in the global art scene.
