Born in 1969, Invader is a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. From the video games he played as a child in the 1970s and 1980s and the very first computer images, Invader drew inspiration for his designs. Since 1998, the artist has developed a large-scale project with the code name Space Invaders. Inspired by video game characters, these pixelated mosaics of square ceramic tiles adorn the walls and structures of cities and towns around the world. Each of these unique pieces has become fragments of a tentacular installation: Invader has now installed more than 4000 mosaics in 80 cities around the world.Alongside this invasion work, he exhibits regularly in recognized galleries and museums
