Meaning & Analysis

Invasion Kit 13, Made In Japan by Invader, crafted in 2010, is a striking example of his iconic mosaic style. This limited edition piece, made of glass paste tiles, encapsulates the artist's innovative approach to street art. As part of Invader's celebrated series, it reflects his unique blend of pixelated aesthetics and cultural commentary.

This work exemplifies Invader’s signature use of ceramic tiles, reminiscent of the retro video game imagery that has become his hallmark. The mosaic is meticulously arranged, reflecting the artist's precision and dedication to craft. Created in an edition of 30 signed and 150 unsigned pieces, this artwork was released during Invader’s exhibition in Tokyo, symbolising his global reach and cultural fusion. The piece’s compact dimensions allow it to capture the essence of Invader’s larger urban installations, bringing the spirit of street art into a collectible format. The Invasion Kit series, inspired by the artist's ‘Space Invaders’ project, continues to challenge traditional art boundaries, blending digital nostalgia with contemporary commentary.
