Meaning & Analysis

This artwork features a pixelated ghost character, reminiscent of classic arcade games, adorned with the bold red and blue lightning bolt associated with David Bowie. The silkscreen printing technique enhances the graphic quality, making the imagery striking. Invader's homage to Bowie highlights the influence of cultural icons on his work, a recurring theme in his practice. Within the Aladdin Sane series, this print represents a playful yet insightful commentary on fame and identity in today’s digital age. The series includes various colour editions, showcasing Invader's ability to blend elements of nostalgia with contemporary themes, thus bridging high art and popular culture in a unique visual dialogue.

  • 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.
